Following the marathon James said, “I am very pleased that I managed to raise over £2,500 for Up and Downs. Thank you to everyone who sent messages of support and sponsored me, it is greatly appreciated. Money raised will be going towards specialist equipment, Makaton workshops and speech therapy sessions for the children who use Up and Downs and I know it will really make a difference."
