Basil Potter's Requiem Homily
- Written by: Alex Walker

London Marathon 22nd April 2007
I’m running the London Marathon for Cancer Research UK. Time is getting short – just 5 weeks tomorrow until the big day. If all goes well it will be the fulfilment of a little promise I made to myself 5 years ago before I retired: attempt a marathon every year until I’m 70. So, 4 down and 1 to go!
