I posted recently about Mark Hughes (a consultant rheumatologist based in Cornwall) who was running a 103 mile ultra marathon on Friday to raise funds and awareness for PMRGCAuk.

So many of you sponsored him and left brilliant messages on his JustGiving page - thank you all so much for your support for him and for us too.

Despite the horrendous weather on Friday, Mark completed the 103 miles in an incredible 29 hours and 38 minutes!

Mark said it was really tough but amazing to cross the finish line.

With his effort and your support, he's raised £2,700 including gift aid which may rise a bit further with any later donations.

Fantastic, I feel tired just thinking about it, lazy soul that I am. Say well done to Mark.

[Fran_Benson Partner in reply to piglette]

Not lazy at all Piglette! I'd struggle to stay awake for 30 hours never mind run for all that time 🏃🏃🏃
