At the end it was time to tell everyone why I was running the marathon – to raise money for WaterAid who help those in countries where water isn’t as plentiful and easy to access as in the UK and to tell them what their sponsorship money would be going to buy. All the pupils were very attentive (you might of thought they’d never seen a camel before!) and many of them were asking questions about my cameling capers.

A big thankyou must go to the parents and pupils who sponsored me - and especially to sensei’s Henreiheta and Len Sim for allowing Humphrey to visit their dojo – overall it has helped raise over £700 for WaterAid but best of all - Humphrey has made loads of new camel friends !
