"Thanks for a magical day on Sunday. We stood with the team at 13.5. Just wow. What an amazing team of people and volunteers too. Giving up their time to support the runners. I was so touched at the end when Ellie was walked to the reception building by one of your volunteers. What a moment of sheer joy and pride. You made her feel so special. Like she was the only person who had finished. Thank you"
