We reported last month that college speaker Amanda Woodford was handling the difficulty to support the charity due to the fact that of the help it had actually provided her mum and other Melton relative who have sight loss problems.
She is an experienced runner however discovered the 26 miles around the capital ‘much harder than expected’.
Amanda said: “ Although I have run several Ultra Marathons, I’d never run that kind of distance on tarmac, and I definitely felt in in the knees and hips from mile 15 onwards.
“However, the crowd was just amazing and it felt wonderful to be part of it.
“My time wasn’t quite as good as expected but I’m still so proud of myself.”
Amanda’s mum, Janet Whapples, and her partner, David, her Dad, Maurice, plus both siblings – Jon and Michael – are dealing with sight loss problems.
