Chris, (aka Peck) an old school friend of some 40 years, ran the London Marathon yesterday in memory of family friend Deborah James, Bowel Babe, who sadly passed away this year. Deborah is known for her work, raising awareness and money for bowel cancer, a condition that she suffered despite being healthy and a vegetarian.
Whilst Peck has had to come to terms with his knee pain and a change in his running focus, which he talks about (blog coming soon on so-called ‘runners knees’), he certainly had a purpose yesterday. It was clearly a tough marathon and his slowest, mainly due to poo emoji costume hanging off his shoulders.
It was a superb effort and one that keeps bowel cancer on the agenda via some notable media appearances during the run and on Lorraine today.
