Speaking after the run Bobby said: “The support on the day was amazing and it was a surreal experience and atmosphere.
“I was a little nervous during the build up, but once the run started I was fine and it became fun.
“I had my family and friends supporting me and it was great to see fellow colleagues from MHA there as supporters and participants.
“I did seize up during the drive back home and was feeling sore afterwards but look forward to running again after a few days’ rest.
“I was very proud of myself, I want to thank everyone who supported me and helped contribute to reach the amount we did.”
