Congratulations to the New York Marathon runners from BYC who took part in the NY Marathon in aid of Marie Curie. Dave Fletcher managed to finish in the top 10,000 runners! Sounds like a lot of runners in front of him, but with over 40,000 runners, this puts him in the top 25%! Now Dave can relax in his Laser until his next challenge!
