Monaco yacht brokerage and management firm YCO fielded a team to compete in the London Marathon.

Despite record breaking temperatures all members of the team successfully completed the course.

Their new runners this year included Portia Hart and Katrina Arens, who completed the race in 4h10 and 4h34 respectively.

Gary Wright, taking part for the third year running, and Glenn Trunley both set personal bests.

Special commendations also go to Carl Gardner for finishing in a fantastic 3h29 and Mike Goulden who hurt his knee at the 16 mile mark but still managed to hobble round the rest of the course to complete the race in a very painful 7 hours!

Their combined effort means that YCO has now raised over £110,000 for the WellChild Charity in the last three years.
