IT FELT strange not to be with everyone on Sunday for this year’s York 10K, and on behalf of myself and my family I wanted to thank all involved for helping us keep Jane’s legacy alive.

Congratulations to everyone who finished and a huge, heartfelt thank you to the hundreds of volunteers who helped on the day.

The city of York has given us such an overwhelmingly warm welcome since we launched the York 10K two years ago. Most importantly, that support is resulting in greatly needed sums of money being raised for so many charities by those who run, walk, wheel and jog the York 10K.

Just to reassure those who might be feeling a bit sore after Sunday’s run, having been on my bike for the past week, although it’s not my feet or legs, I can feel some of your pain. We are a week into our fundraising bike ride from Istanbul to Leeds.

We hope everyone had a fantastic day on Sunday – it was certainly an incredible end to the 2010 Jane Tomlinson Run For All calendar. We look forward to seeing you all again in 2011.

Mike Tomlinson and family, Run For All Limited, Leeds.
