Shirley after finishing the London Marathon
Shirley's marathon success
Shirley Roberts, crematoria business development manager for memorial sales finished the London Marathon in 4 hours, 48 minutes. Shirley was running for Cancer Research UK and raised £3,600.
"It was worth the many hours spent training in the cold and dark!" said Shirley. "It was the most amazing experience and a day I will remember for a long, long, time. I really under-estimated the lift the crowd would give me with their cheering and running over Tower Bridge was fantastic - I think I ran the next 13 miles on the high from their noise! Seven members of my family spent the day running around on the tubes so they could be at 3 cheering points on the course which gave me a boost each time I saw them."
