Laura Foster, who called herself ‘Ms Ordinary’ in her attempt to stop disgraced peer Jeffrey Archer from achieving the world record for the most money raised in a marathon, didn’t quite reach his target of £1.6 million.

Nevertheless, she raised £4,653.50 for charities including the NSPCC, Shelter and Help the Aged.

Her Web site points out that she completed the Marathon in 4 hours 14 minutes, whereas Archer finished in 5 hours 26. She added: “have you noticed how quiet Archer has been about his own fundraising campaign?” It does indeed look as if he did not reach his target.
