Sophie Raworth: I thought I was dying at London Marathon They wanted to put me on the bus but I wasn't having that so I jogged to the finish, where I met my family, who'd been worried sick. As the hours passed they'd had no idea what had happened to me. Miss Raworth, 43, is running this year's marathon to raise money for the St John Ambulance service as a thank-you for the help they provided. She plans to drink more water this year and will be wearing a heart monitor so that she knows to slow down if her heart rate rises rapidly. Her target finish time is four hours and she told Radio Times: "I'll look out for the team who cared for me so brilliantly at the 24-mile station. Only, this year, I hope to give them a wave and a shout, rather than arrive on a stretcher.
