She’s done it!!! 🏃🏻‍♀️
Hear from the amazing athlete herself:

TCS London Marathon 2026

Wow what a day! Running through the streets of London yesterday in the glorious sunshine was phenomenal. The crowds were so loud and screaming everyone’s names. People say the marathon itself is the victory lap after all the training and fundraising. I thought it was a bit cliche but now I get it. It felt like being at the best party, with singing firemen and all the best music blasting out. Wonderful volunteers handing out water and all the signs inspiring us to keep going. If I wasn’t so dehydrated, I’d have cried my eyes out at the love actually inspired sign. “If you look, you will see that love really is all around us”. My heart is so full. So many happy tears!

My official finish time was 3:55:39
A sub 4 hour marathon! The dream finish for me.

Total money raised now stands at £5490! This is incredible and I must thank everyone who has been part of this fundraising journey. Family and friends, the Denbury community, Mount Vets Farm Practice with all of our wonderful farmers also supporting. Colaton Raleigh Players and all of the audiences at Cinderella, Hymec Aerospace UK, Fermoys Garden Centre and of course The Union Inn Denbury. Thank you to everyone who has send me messages of support and encouragement. Thank you to everyone who watched along at home. It’s was wonderful to know that you were all behind me. I couldn’t have done all this without you! Thank you!

One week to go for our ATT Alice!

After 16 long weeks of training and more than 600kms run, the TCS London Marathon is on Sunday! Alice you have done amazing so far, an achievement to be proud of! 💚

From Alice: "Ironing on letters to my Young Lives Vs Cancer top today makes it feel very real! I am astounded by everyone’s generosity and that we are only £195 short of £5K!! This is incredible and wouldn’t it be brilliant to round that total up. £5000 would be DOUBLE what I set out to achieve. That money will do so much for kids with cancer. From support workers to help them understand why they feel so poorly, to family accommodation next to a hospital when undergoing treatment. This charity is brilliant and I cannot wait to run for them in London on Sunday."

On 1 January we introduced our new 24h direct dial number for the farm practice 01823 663384.

We have continued to offer a ‘press 2 for farm’ on the old number 01823 662286. From 1 April this number will be a dedicated direct dial for the pet hospital. If you do accidently dial 01823 662286 the vet nurses will give you the dedicated farm number but they will be unable to redirect your call via the switchboard.

Please can we therefore ask all clients to check their phones and make sure that Mount Vets Farm Practice is listed as 01823 663384, thank you.
