Marathon Success for Ms. Sincheva On a damp and slightly windy day in London, Ms Sincheva ran the London Marathon. She joined the crowds of runners in aid of charity Childhood First. Despite the drizzle, it was an amazing and incredible occasion with thousands of runners taking to the streets to raise much-needed finds for the charity.
