WEYMOUTH runner Laura Putnam, 25, raced for the Stroke Association.
The charity is very close to Laura’s heart as her mum suffered a stroke when she was young.
Laura battled the heat and crowds in London to finish in five hours, 27 minutes and 27 seconds.
She said: “I was absolutely shattered. It was really emotional going over the line, I didn’t know I’d actually finished and I had to ask someone.”
She added: “The first thing I did was shower and eat loads of chocolate.
“I have raised more than £2,500 so I’m really pleased. I’m just looking forward to my bed and a glass of wine this week.”
