Blackadders lawyer runs Paris Marathon for charity

Ms Douglas - a senior solicitor at Blackadders - wanted the MS Society to benefit as she knows several people who are affected with the condition. This was her fourth successful marathon, the others having been London and Edinburgh (twice).

After completing the course in an enviable time of 3 hours 45 minutes, she said: “This was my fourth marathon and certainly my toughest to date as it was particularly hot!

“There were some great views along the way, including the Eiffel Tower which will always be very memorable. I am just delighted to have received so much support and to help raise funds for this incredible cause.”
