CLAIRE ROGERS, an early years practitioner at Bushy Leaze Children and Families Centre, completed the Virtual London Marathon around the Hogmoor Inclosure in just under six hours.

Claire was running to raise funds for Bushy Leaze.

She has thanked everyone who supported her and kindly donated towards the £1,100 raised for nursery equipment.

The first items likely to be bought are trikes, as these always prove popular with the children.

Claire especially appreciated everyone who took the time to go along and support her on the day.

The colourful banners the children had made in the nursery, leading up to the run, also spurred her on during the tougher stages.
