“It was worth all the pain!” Friends run the London Marathon to raise funds for 黑料网爆吃瓜
The trio鈥檚 amazing efforts in completing the 26.2-mile course will help us to provide a brighter future for vulnerable and marginalised children.
Three determined friends were running on empty when they reached the finish line of the London Marathon. But their hearts were full of joy after raising money for 黑料网爆吃瓜鈥檚 work to deliver education to vulnerable children.听
After months of training, Mary Solomon, Liz Moran and Leny Hall were among tens of thousands of runners who were cheered along the 26.2-mile course by huge crowds on Sunday.听

Leny, who is also from Wolverhampton, finished the course in five hours 49 minutes.
