00:00Hi Ben, it's JD, I just wanted to send this video message just to say all the best for the run of Saturday, happy birthday and thank you very much for supporting the Bradley Lower Foundation from myself and behalf of myself and the family, we really appreciate it and like I said, all the best for the run mate and yeah, have a great day on your birthday, God bless, take care, bye.
00:21Just passed the Marathon mark and it is chucking it down, God these things are never easy are they, you wouldn't think it was the middle of July, bloody hell, well, nothing I can do, put my jacket on, keep me a little bit warm, I wouldn't say I'm dry, but I'm warmer than I was.
00:44Just passed through Hetton, so I'm starting to get into familiar ground now, won't be long until I'm dropping down into Ryham, and I don't even need the map there, so I'll see you when I'm in Sunderland probably.
01:03We are one and a half miles left, running through Gateshead now, there it is, St James' Park on the horizon, God my legs are mashed.
01:23Finished, I've never been so happy to see this stadium, 52 miles I've ended up being in the end, I'm wrecked, fastest mile was that last one, running up the high street.
01:42Right, I'm going to go get changed and I'm going to go to the pub, I'm going to meet them guys back in there, come on, thanks everyone that's donated anything, the fundraiser is going to be open for a little while, so he's still got the opportunity to do that if he's haven't already, thank you.
