Well done Dan for completing the London Marathon
Dan says:
Amazing!!!!!!!!!! No more marathons!!!!!!!!!! Your turn!
I’m over the moon about my time (3hrs 54mins) let alone finishing. Thanks to everyone for the kind words of encouragement and support, but more importantly the amazing generosity with sponsorship, which goes towards helping young people with problems most of us can’t imagine. I’ve had an amazing experience.
Thanks for your support. Beer and bath!

Great Gidding resident Dan Valderas is less than 3 weeks away from taking part in the London Marathon on behalf of Barnardo’s children’s charity.
Dan would like to let the people of Great Gidding and surroundings know what he is doing, as the few people who are aware have been extremely generous in their donations towards Dan’s target of £1800. Currently Dan has raised just over £750 via Facebook, friends and family.
Dan needs your donations!
