Running for her Daughter, Katie
Sarah German completed the marathon in 7:11:30, just behind Katie and Peter Andre. She ran for her daughter, Katie, who will need specialist care for the rest of her life because her left kidney doesn’t function properly.
Katie was diagnosed at 20 weeks whilst still in the womb, with a Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney, which is the result of abnormal fetal development of the kidney. There is little or no normal function to this kidney
Sarah said: ‘Katie was waiting for me at the end with the rest of the family and my mum and dad, so when I finally came across the line I wanted to cry, I was really happy to see them.’
'It was a lot more difficult this year, compared to when I ran the Marathon in 2006. It was so hot, I’ve got sunburn on my face and a nice red semi-circle on my chest, so no v-neck tops for work next week!'
