POST MARATHON UPDATE:
We are so proud of Georgina, who’s our youngest and only female Marathon Runner this year! This is her first marathon ever and she did it in 5 hours and 7 minutes – You go girl!
Georgina was inspired to enter the marathon and do something she doesn’t like, by her father – Russell Cook, who run 3 marathons in 2014 for 3 transplants he had had as well as a series of other runs, marathons and half-marathons. The Cooks seem truly unstoppable!
MDS UK has a third Virgin London Marathon runner!!!
We are delighted to announce that the amazing daughter of the amazing Russell Cook, Georgina, is also entering the VLM 2015.

As a small charity for whom it is near impossible to obtain marathon charity places, we are so immensely grateful to every lucky ballot runner for using their place to run for us.
Here is what Georgina says on her fundraising page – there is no better introduction:

If you can’t donate money, please consider donating something that costs you nothing but time. Register to become a bone marrow and blood donor. You could save lives like that of my dad’s and become someone else’s inspiration.
Russell is so helpful – we made him a trustee!!! More news on this soon.
