Tom James: "I knew when we got off at the start and we got in to a rhythm that was good. It was unbelievable. It started chucking down with rain and I though 'this is for us, this is what we do' it's always chucking down with rain. It was our day."

"Every person here shouting, every person at home, every person who's picked up the floor each day. our families friends, you cannot believe how big the support group is. We owe a debt of thanks to everyone who helped us on our way."
