Virgin London Marathon - Human Interest 2010 Tony Hodge Germany 31736 25th April will be my 33rd full marathon and 14th 'London' and my personal best time was recorded in the 2002 marathon (2 hours, 56 minutes). I work for the Ministry of Defense and last year I had to do all my training on a treadmill because I was working in Afghanistan - it was too dangerous to run outside the Camp for obvious reasons! This year I am over in Germany with my family and have had to run through the hardest German Winter for 30 years and we've had snow on the ground for over 2 months. The full details of my running efforts this year are on my just giving page: www.justgiving.com/tony-hodge Jamie Ingliss Appeal, British Forces Germany Dean Parsons Morden, Surrey 51756 Dean is running the Virgin London Marathon this year as Haydon, The Womble AFC Wimbledon's official mascot. This will be Dean's first London Marathon. The Children's Trust James Delve Derbyshire 42442 James, 24 is running his first marathon this year for the Meningitis Trust. James lost a close friend of his since the age of 17, Will Sheppard to meningitis. Since then the Meningitis Trust has been important to James and has supported fundraising activities since. In 2004 a group of Will's friend's and family raised over £100,000 for the trust. Although James didn't run he assisted massively with the fundraising. One of the team who ran in 2004 for the Meningitis Trust was Tom Donaldson, a friend of James' since the age of 12. Tragically Tom died following a freak accident in February 2009. James has since decided that he would like run in both Tom and Will's memory. James has decided to run for the Meningitis Trust following the death of Will and as it was the charity close to Tom's heart. The Meningitis Trust
