A huge well done to the 114 runners who ran and completed London Marathon 2018 today for MDUK. It wasn't an easy race with high temperatures but you all persevered to reach that finish line. Together, you have raised thousands for people affected by muscle-wasting conditions.

Thank you to all the volunteers who gave their time today. Without your cheering and assistance we would not be able to provide the support needed for the 114 runners. Thank you!

Here are a few snaps from the day. Please share yours below too.
