Jen Bradshaw said ‘Three days after the London marathon and I’m still buzzing.
The whole weekend was an amazing experience, full of so many emotions, happy, sad, nerves, joy and so much more.
From the moment I walked in to the Excel to register and collect my race number to the moment I crossed that finish line, I can honestly say, it was worth it and so so much fun.
The marathon itself was just incredible, I loved every moment and was constantly reminded by supporters and marshals how much I was smiling. The whole atmosphere was like one big carnival, music, cowbells, whistles, singing and dancing.
I always said it wouldn’t be fast, it took me seven hours (and twenty-eight seconds) and when I look back now, yes, I could have done it faster. But the aim was to get from start to finish, and enjoy it. I certainly did that.
I want to thank you all for supporting me, without that I wouldn’t have raised the amount that I did for the GSPCA. It will help so much with the new building project. I cannot express how grateful I am for that.
Maybe next time I’ll beat my time, watch this space……..’

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Jen has been an incredible volunteer and supporter for the GSPCA for many years and we are all so impressed in her amazing achievement.”
“Jen has been such a huge support to us at the GSPCA in so many ways over the years and here incredible challenge raising a massive £1500+ is just so appreciated for the much needed Wildlife Hospital.”
“You can still donate to Jen’s Just Giving page which she has created and it is wonderful she smashed not just the Marathon, but also her £1000 target towards the much needed Wildlife Hospital here at the GSPCA.”
“With over 2500 wild animals and birds through the doors this much needed facility is needed now more than ever.”
