UK INF supporter Carl Barker successfully completed yesterday's annual Edinburgh Marathon, recording a very creditable time of 3 hours and 24 minutes. In the process, Carl raised £250 [around US$400] from sponsors to go towards much-needed funding for INF's health and development work in Nepal, with more sponsorship money still to come in. 'A combination of talking to myself, yelling at the elements and the support of the crowd enabled me to speed up towards the end,' says Carl. 'I even added in a semi-sprint finish. More important was raising money to help the important work that INF does.' INF would like to say a big 'Thank you!' to Carl for his outstanding efforts.
