The 83-year-old runner who has finished every London Marathon The 83-year-old runner who has finished every London Marathon Charlie Jones BBC News, Suffolk John Fairhall/BBC Ros Speake says she will never stop Mac from running the marathon, even though she worries about him One week ago, Mac Speake lined up at the start of the London Marathon and prayed his body would carry him to the end. At 83, the retired GP is the eldest of a dwindling band of men, known as the Ever Presents, who have run every London Marathon since it began in 1981. “I hope I will be able to do it again next year but I haven’t decided yet. I would be a bit lost without it. It’s been a huge part of my life, but this year was really hard,” he says. He is speaking from his home in Kettlebaston, Suffolk, where he has spent the past seven days recovering. “I was doing really well until 22 miles when I blew it. I lost my balance and it all went a bit pear-shaped,” he says. Mac Speake is one of a very small group of men who have run every London Marathon since the event started in 1981 During his 45 marathons, he has run with broken bones and norovirus so bad he vomited “gallons”. But he also has “the greatest memories”, with his personal best of two hours and 44 minutes achieved in 1983. John Fairhall/BBC Mac’s has medals from every one of the 45 London Marathons he has run from 1981 to 2025 His wife Ros has been to support him every year, apart from one, when she had a stroke. She recalls their four children hanging off the gates of Buckingham Palace during the first event in 1981, when just 6,500 runners took part, compared to 56,000 this year. “It was raining and the children were soaked and I couldn’t get to the finish line to give Mac his clothes to change into. So it was a bit stressful,” she says. Four decades on, supporting Mac is still a bit stressful for Ros. Along with their daughter, she had to almost carry him across the line this year. He finished in nine hours and 14 minutes, half an hour quicker than last year – a race Mac went into with a bad back and which he describes as “catastrophic”. “I worry that his body can’t take it anymore. But I could never stop him from doing it,” says Ros. The Ever Presents are (left to right) Jeffrey Aston, David Walker, Chris Finill, Michael Peace, Bill O’Connor and Mac Speake After the 15th London Marathon in 1995, the group of 42 men who had completed every event were given a special medal and guaranteed entry to future races. Now there are only six. Mac has a strong bond with the other Ever Presents, and affectionately describes 66-year-old Chris Finill from Surrey as the baby of the group. London Marathon Events Chris Finill, pictured in the first London Marathon, holds the Guinness World Record for achieving 33 consecutive sub-three hour marathons in London, from 1981 to 2013 “Part of me doesn’t want to be defined by the club but I have been doing this event since I was 22 and now I’m a grandfather,” he says. Chris joined Harrow Athletics Club at the age of 15 and still runs for them, taking the race just as seriously now as he did when he was younger. “The elites and the people in fancy dress get a lot of attention but I like to think we represent the club runners who were at the core of that very first marathon,” he says. Chris got his personal best of two hours and 28 minutes aged 26 in 1985 Chris has witnessed many changes to the marathon over the years, from the landscape, particularly around Canary Wharf, to the number of competitors and the crowds. In the early days, it was difficult to find out how well you had performed. “Chip timing wasn’t a thing so if it took you a few minutes to reach the start line, that would be added on,” Chris says. “The Times used to publish a list so you would either read your official time in the paper the next day, or have to wait for it to arrive in the post.” Chris Finill Chris, pictured with his medals, ran this year’s race in three hours and 15 minutes In 2018, Chris completed the race despite breaking his arm in four places less than four miles (6km) in. “I fell to the ground and landed on my arm straight and it was just hanging there. I got a sling and just carried on, then I went straight to hospital from the finish line.” He completed this year’s race in three hours and 15 minutes and says there is some sadness as the group inevitably gets smaller. One of the group died between marathons, while another was hit by a motorbike and could not take part. Some have started the race knowing they would get a DNF (did not finish) while others have chosen a DNS (did not start), knowing they would not be able to complete it. “Some have been persuaded by their friends and family that they are not quite strong enough. Everyone deals with it in a different way,” he says. Six nearly became five this year, when David Walker thought he would have to drop out after pulling a muscle in training. However, he managed to complete the marathon virtually in just under 10 hours near his home in Chesham, Buckinghamshire, with the help of his sons. David Walker managed to stay in the club after completing the 2025 London Marathon virtually Chris tries not to think about the day when he might be the last one standing. “At the moment I’m not looking much further ahead but I would be thrilled if I got to 50 [races]. You have to take it one race at a time,” he says. He is full of admiration for Mac and the other Ever Presents, who he describes as a brotherhood. “We’re all trying to conquer the distance and we all want to see each other succeed. “To me, as the youngest, it is a big deal seeing Mac and David out there on their feet for so many hours. “I can only hope I’ll be doing the same when I’m their age.” Hugh Brasher, chief executive of London Marathon Events, says: “The Ever Presents are a very special part of London Marathon history. “For most people, training and taking part in just one marathon is a monumental challenge. For these six individuals to have done it 45 times is simply incredible. “We salute them all and hope to see them on the TCS London Marathon start line for many years to come.” www.everpresent.org.*** The Ever Presents were a much larger number back in 2005 The six men are part of a club they dread having to leave; one you can easily leave but no longer join. “Nobody else can ever get in,” Mac says. “There is almost a pressure to carry on, it has given me so much. “I look back at my life and think ‘I’m not very good at many things but at least I’ve achieved something.’ “I have to be careful because Ros is looking at me, but I think, on balance, I will give it another go next year.” Source link #83yearold #runner #finished #London #Marathon Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content] For verified travel tips and real support, visit: [Hidden Content]

Victory slip to Jets draw ahead of ALM finals Victory slip to Jets draw ahead of ALM finals Melbourne Victory will head into the A-League Men finals on a frustrating note after slipping to a 1-1 draw with Newcastle in their last regular-season match. Victory were already locked into fifth place and a trip to Western Sydney for next Saturday night’s elimination final at CommBank Stadium against the fourth-placed Wanderers. Defender Kasey Bos was almost the matchwinner for Victory for a second time in two weeks, following up his decisive goal against Macarthur with a lovely finish in the 47th minute at AAMI Park.. But Newcastle’s Clayton Taylor scored after a horror error from goalkeeper Jack Duncan in the 83rd minute to snatch a point. It was the ninth-placed Jets’ final match under manager Rob Stanton, with Socceroos great Mark Milligan expected to take over after this season. The dangerous Zinedine Machach dragged a shot wide in the fifth minute while Nishan Velupillay came close with a volley in the 22nd. Machach slipped through Nikos Vergos in the 23rd minute and the striker neatly dinked the ball over Ryan Scott – but was called offside. Victory unsuccessfully appealed for a handball by Jets striker Lachie Rose on the half-hour mark. Daniel Arzani won a penalty in the 42nd minute after Daniel Wilmering was ruled to have clipped him, but after a VAR review, it was overturned. Victory took the lead when Machach curled a wonderful ball into the path of Bos, who burst forward then coolly finished across his body. Substitute Santos thought he’d doubled Victory’s lead in the 71st minute but was offside, then skimmed a shot over the bar three minutes later. Newcastle hit back out when Duncan, deputising for Mitch Langerak (foot), attempted to pass to Ryan Teague but Ben Gibson nipped in and got a foot to it. The hospital pass allowed Lachlan Bayliss to contest the ball which squeezed out to Gibson, who found Taylor, and the talented Jet took a touch then beat Duncan at his near post. Duncan then made a super double save, denying Gibson, then Taylor, to stop Newcastle taking the lead.

Berkshire boy’s life saved after ‘death sentence’ disease
Pelican Press posted a topic in World News
Berkshire boy’s life saved after ‘death sentence’ disease Berkshire boy’s life saved after ‘death sentence’ disease A boy with an ultra-rare immune disease which can carry a “death sentence” is starting to live a normal life after taking part in a groundbreaking gene therapy trial. Eisa, from Reading, now enjoys playing football and can attend school – something his family never dreamed possible before the treatment. The four-year-old was born with a severe form of leukocyte adhesion deficiency 1 (LAD-1) which is a rare, inherited disorder that disrupts the immune system’s ability to fight infections. Father Safdar said “cuddly and friendly” Eisa was “better than I could have ever thought he would be” after taking part in the trial. Eisa was born during the pandemic, but his parents quickly realised something was wrong. Mr Safdar said his son “didn’t seem right” and an infection led to him being seen in three different hospitals, ending up at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). He said: “Great Ormond Street told us they couldn’t find a bone marrow match so they offered the gene therapy, I said ‘if that’s the only option they have, we have to do it’. “Since then, because of this treatment, he has actually been able to fight infections himself. “Great Ormond Street saved his life. He wouldn’t be able to have the life he has now without those services.” Eisa, one of three siblings, had his treatment in January 2021 when he was 10 months old. Professor Claire Booth, consultant paediatric immunologist at GOSH, said: “From previous studies on patients with this condition, if you have less than 2% expression, it’s essentially like a death sentence without any treatment.” Doctors were concerned Eisa was in a “catch-22” situation as he needed treatment for a problem with his heart, but LAD-1 caused problems with wound healing. He could not have the operation before the gene therapy. The new gene therapy works by modifying the patient’s own cells to help them create the missing protein needed to help the body fight infection. These are then returned to the patients which helps them to develop a working immune system. Safdar said: “How he is now is better than I could have ever thought he would be – I never thought he would be able to walk, the next thing for us will be talking.” Prof Booth said the success of the trial opens doors for gene therapy to be used in a number of conditions, including ******* and muscular dystrophy.

Labor’s factions set to scramble over two vacant positions in Anthony Albanese’s second-term ministry Labor’s factions set to scramble over two vacant positions in Anthony Albanese’s second-term ministry Labor’s factions are set to start scrambling on Monday for two vacant positions in Anthony Albanese’s second-term ministry, with insiders believing the Prime Minister’s landslide victory has given him more internal authority. As Labor ministers and MPs celebrated Saturday’s shock win, focus shifted to who would form part of Labor’s senior government. The two vacancies — from former Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones and Bill Shorten — offer up a position to a left and right-aligned MP respectively. Aged Care and Sports Minister Anika Wells’ elevation earlier this year in Mr Shorten’s place means there are no vacant spots around the Cabinet table, so both will likely be in the outer ministry. Resources Minister Madeleine King — the only WA cabinet minister — said she would welcome another West *********** in the ranks, off the back of the Government’s dominant electoral performance in the State. WA’s Matt Keogh and Anne Aly are in the wider ministry, while Patrick Gorman and Josh Wilson serve as assistant ministers. Feel like giving the politicians a rating this Federal election? Our Pollie Rater lets you do just that. Rate the politicians “As a West ***********, I always think it should be more of us in cabinet, and I hope that is the case, but we do have to finalise the count so that we can know exactly where we all sit, and that’s going to be a measured process,” she said on Sunday. While one frontbencher told The West *********** WA’s claim to another position would be affected by the increase in seats from other States, Ms King dismissed questions it would lead to a reduced influence from WA representatives. Camera IconResources Minister Madeleine King — the only WA cabinet minister — said she would welcome another West *********** in the ranks. Credit: Ross Swanborough/The West *********** “Anthony Albanese has always been committed to Western Australia . . . I think he visits Perth more than I do and I’m in Rockingham,” Ms King said. “Our government gets it — in the last term, in the future term and always. But I do think it’s a good thing that Queensland has finally lifted its game.” It came after Treasurer Jim Chalmers told the ABC on Sunday Queensland — which has three ministers in Cabinet — was short of numbers, amid a resurgence of support for Labor in the sunshine state. “I think there’s a stronger contingent in a number of states,” he said on Insiders. “We’ve been long on influence but short on numbers. I’m a Queenslander, and I think that most the cabinet should be Queenslanders — that’s just how we’re born and raised.” Caucus will likely meet next week to determine the composition of the ministry before Mr Albanese awards the roles, with one frontbencher telling The West the Prime Minister had earned the right to make calls on who got which portfolios. “I would think he wants to make some changes both in personnel and portfolio to freshen things up,” a Labor minister said. During the election campaign, speaking with The Nightly, Mr Albanese said a reshape of his ministry was necessary given the empty spots. “There’s a couple of vacancies already there, and it’s also important that a government regenerate,” he said. “The key people in my Government I expect to hold the same portfolios across the leaders group, after the election as well. “Richard Marles in defence, Penny Wong in foreign affairs, Jim Chalmers in treasury, Don Farrell in trade and Katy Gallagher in finance bring a stability to the show that is really important.” Asked at The West ***********’s Leadership Matters late last month who would be Environment Minister, Mr Albanese refused to back in his factional rival, Tanya Plibersek. “Well Tanya will serve in the Cabinet, no question about that. We’ve got an incredible team. I’ll have a chat with people if we’re successful,” he said. Ms Plibersek’s position was put focus after an apparent snub at Labor’s Perth campaign launch, where Mr Albanese awkwardly clasped hands with his Environment Minister.

Bo Allan: West Coast Eagles debutant hit with one-match suspension for strike on Melbourne’s Jack Viney Bo Allan: West Coast Eagles debutant hit with one-match suspension for strike on Melbourne’s Jack Viney The stop-start opening to Bo Allan’s AFL career continues, with West Coast’s top draft pick copping a one-game ban for catching Melbourne star Jack Viney high in a marking contest. Allan caught Viney high with a swinging arm in the third quarter of their 32-point loss at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. The 19-year-old attempted to spoil, but missed the ball with his eyes on Viney and caught the former Demons skipper high. Viney played out the game despite the incident, but the match review officer deemed the incident as careless contact, medium impact and high which carries a one-game ban. Eagles coach Andrew McQualter was confident the Eagles’ top draftee wouldn’t be cited when asked about the incident after the match. “I haven’t looked at it again on tape, but I saw it live,” McQualter said. “Vines played out the game which is usually an indication that it will be OK.” Should West Coast opt not to challenge the ban, Allan’s frustrating start to the season will continue as he misses out on the club’s sole trip to the MCG this season to face Richmond. The left-footer has been struck down by two separate bouts of illness in the opening months of the season, delaying his debut until Saturday night. Meanwhile, Melbourne forward Jake Melksham has escaped suspension for a marking contest that left Eagles defender Jeremy McGovern concussed and missing this weekend’s clash against Richmond at the MCG. Melksham pushed McGovern as he tried to take a mark, with McGovern colliding with Demons forward Harry Petty in an incident which left both players subbed out of the game with a concussion. “Melksham and McGovern have their eyes on the ball as Harrison Petty and Reuben Ginbey compete in front of them,” the MRO explained. “With his eyes on the ball, Melksham makes contact with McGovern’s back and simultaneously, Melksham makes contact with McGovern’s foot as he positions himself to take the mark, resulting in McGovern being put off balance and his head making contact with Petty’s back while Petty is contesting the mark. “It was the view of the MRO that the contact from Melksham was not of a forceful nature and that having regard to all of the circumstances, it was not reasonably foreseeable that McGovern and Petty would make contact in the manner that occurred. No further action was taken.” Source link #Allan #West #Coast #Eagles #debutant #hit #onematch #suspension #strike #Melbournes #Jack #Viney Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Putin says he hopes there will be no need to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine Putin says he hopes there will be no need to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russian President Vladimir Putin said in comments broadcast on Sunday said that the need to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine had not arisen, and that he hoped it would not arise. In a fragment of an upcoming interview with Russian state television published on Telegram, Putin said that Russia has the strength and the means to bring the conflict in Ukraine to a “logical conclusion”. Responding to a question about Ukrainian strikes on Russia from a state television reporter, Putin said: “There has been no need to use those (nuclear) weapons … and I hope they will not be required.” He said: “We have enough strength and means to bring what was started in 2022 to a logical conclusion with the outcome Russia requires.” Putin in February 2022 ordered tens of thousands of Russian troops into Ukraine, in what the Kremlin calls a “special military operation” against its neighbour. Though Russian troops were repelled from Kyiv, Moscow’s forces currently control around 20% of Ukraine, including much of the south and east. Putin has in recent weeks expressed willingness to negotiate a peace settlement, as U.S. President Donald Trump has said he wants to end the conflict via diplomatic means. Fear of nuclear escalation has been a factor in U.S. officials’ thinking since Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022. Former CIA Director William Burns has said there was a real risk in late 2022 that Russia could use nuclear weapons against Ukraine.

Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce diagnosed with prostate *******, undergoing surgery Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce diagnosed with prostate *******, undergoing surgery At a time he should be celebrating, Barnaby Joyce is instead preparing for surgery after being diagnosed with prostate *******. The former deputy prime minister and Nationals MP retained his seat of New England on Saturday night. On Sunday evening, he shared his ******* diagnosis with the ABC and urged men to get checked. Mr Joyce said it was thanks to an insistent GP that he was diagnosed with the disease early. “I was lucky because I’ve got a very diligent general practitioner,” he said.

Mr Joyce will spend a few days in hospital after an operation on Monday, before recuperating at home. The 58-year-old said he’d resign if the diagnosis was serious, but doctors caught it early. Mr Joyce was re-elected to the seat of New England on Saturday night with a decisive 2.3 per cent swing to the Nationals Party. He said the election was a welcome distraction from the ******* diagnosis and didn’t want to speak about it during the campaign, labelling it a distraction. “I knew it would turn into a bit of a circus,” he said. “I wanted the campaign to focus on the campaign and I didn’t think this issue needed to be a part of that.” Mr Joyce is a father of four daughters with his first wife Natalie and has a son with former political staffer Vikki Campion.

Kylie Minogue’s emotional end to US tour Kylie Minogue’s emotional end to US tour Kylie Minogue has finished her first US and Canada arena tour on a high, thanking fans for their “beautiful energy”. The 56-year-old has been performing tracks from her four-decade career on the current leg of her Tension tour. At her show at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Friday, US time, she admitted she was overwhelmed and “very, very grateful”. “Here we are in 2025 and I get to be on a world tour with these beautiful humans, beautiful intelligent humans – the ones you can see on the stage and off stage,” she told the audience, according to Billboard. “And I get very emotional thinking about this, this … it’s been a lifetime and sometimes it just amazes me. So very, very grateful. Thank you so much for being here.” And before her final song, Love at First Sight, the Padam Padam hitmaker thanked her fans for their “beautiful energy” and gave a special “shout-out” to all those who had worked on the tour. “You’ve been beyond tonight. You’ve been here, present, ready, going — thank you so much for being here, for your beautiful energy, for being here for me in all different times of my career. For being there for each other! “I just want to give a real shout-out to our entire crew because this has been an incredible run. We’ve loved it, so thank you.” Minogue began the Tension tour in Perth, before heading for three dates in Asia in March and on to a 16-date run of shows in Canada and the US. She will then head to Europe later in May, before taking the concert series to South America on August 7, rounding out the world tour with three shows in Mexico.

Bunge steers Victory to ALW semi first-leg win Bunge steers Victory to ALW semi first-leg win Melbourne Victory have one foot in the A-League Women grand final after defender Claudia Bunge delivered a 3-1 win over Adelaide United in their away semi-final leg. The Victory will return home to Melbourne next weekend with a two-goal advantage after Bunge struck twice in the second half at Coopers Stadium on Sunday. Adelaide will have to beat Victory in Melbourne for the first time in nine years to reach the decider, which will be against the winner of Melbourne City and Central Coast. Victory star Emily Gielnik struck in the 38th minute before Adelaide’s American attacker Erin Healy hit back. But Bunge headed home from corners in the 77th and 88th minutes to deliver Victory a terrific away win in front of 4372 fans at Coopers Stadium. Gielnik pulled up sore and came off in the 67th minute while Adelaide defender Tiarna Karambasis was replaced by Chelsie Dawber after a head knock in the 62nd minute. The game burst into life when Victory goalkeeper Courtney Newbon found Gielnik with a wonderful defence-splitting pass. Gielnik let rip with a wonderful left foot strike that clattered home. But Adelaide responded almost immediately. Fiona Worts won the ball in midfield and worked it out wide to Emily Hodgson, whose cross fell to Lucia Leon. Emily Condon forced a good save from Newbon but Victory’s defence were unable to clear it quickly enough and an unmarked Healy nipped in to score. Victory were controversially given a free kick for handball in the 43rd minute when the ball had appeared to hit Healy in the head, not hand. But Reds goalkeeper Claudia Jenkins pulled out a world-class save to turn a ripping free kick from Alana Jancevski over the bar. Both teams traded chances but Victory’s winner came after Jenkins made another impressive save to deny Sara D’Appolonia in the 76th minute. At the subsequent corner, Alana Murphy whipped in a flat delivery to the back post and Bunge managed to push off Dylan Holmes to make space before powering home a bullet header. Eleven minutes later, Bunge again got the better of Holmes to nod home an Alex Chidiac cross. Dawber forced a good save from Newbon in the 93rd minute but Adelaide couldn’t hit back again.

Israeli Cabinet ministers to vote on whether to expand Gaza fighting Israeli Cabinet ministers to vote on whether to expand Gaza fighting TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Top Israeli Cabinet ministers were set to meet on Sunday to vote on whether to intensify the country’s military operations in the Gaza Strip, as the army began to call up thousands of reserve soldiers in preparation for an expanded assault, Israeli officials said. Also Sunday, a missile launched by Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen prompted air traffic at Israel’s main Ben-Gurion Airport to halt, police said. The Israeli military said a projectile landed in the area of the airport, although it was not immediately clear if it was the missile or an interceptor of the country’s missile defense system. The plans to escalate fighting in Gaza more than 18 months after the war there erupted come as a humanitarian crisis in the territory deepens. As part of its efforts to pressure the militant group ****** to negotiate on Israel’s terms for a new ceasefire, Israel in early March halted the entry of goods into Gaza. That has plunged the territory of 2.3 million people into what is believed to be the worst humanitarian crisis since the war began. An eight-week-long ceasefire between Israel and ****** that brought a lull in fighting and freed Israeli hostages collapsed in March. Israel resumed its strikes on Gaza on March 18 and has captured swaths of the coastal enclave. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed since the fighting resumed, according to local health officials. At least six Israeli soldiers have been killed in the renewed fighting. An Israeli official said the country’s influential security Cabinet would meet on Sunday evening to vote on plans to expand the fighting. A military official said the country was calling up thousands of reserve soldiers. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations. Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, in an interview with Israeli Army Radio, said he wanted to see a “powerful” expansion of the war, but did not disclose details as to what that would entail. “We need to increase the intensity and continue until we achieve total victory. We must win a total victory,” he said. The war began when ******-led militants attacked southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking 250 hostages. Israel’s offensive has killed more than 52,000 people in Gaza, many of them women and children according to Palestinians health officials, who do not distinguish between combatants and civilians in their count. The fighting has displaced more than 90% of Gaza’s population, often multiple times. Hunger has been widespread and the shortage of food has set off looting. As the war in Gaza has dragged on, Israel has faced continued attacks from the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, who on Sunday launched a missile that set off air raid sirens in many parts of the country. A large plume of smoke could be seen rising near the airport, according to footage shared by Israeli media. Passengers were heard yelling and scrambling to take cover. It was not clear whether the fragment had landed inside the area of the airport, but police said they were closing the entrances to it while they dealt with the scene. Police later said road and rail traffic would resume. Israel’s paramedic service Magen David Adom said four people were lightly wounded following the attack. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz vowed retribution for the strike: “Whoever harms us we will harm them sevenfold.” ___ Associated Press writer Natalie Melzer contributed to this report from Nahariya, Israel. ___ Follow AP’s war coverage at Source link #Israeli #Cabinet #ministers #vote #expand #Gaza #fighting Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content] For verified travel tips and real support, visit: [Hidden Content]
