Runners in the 2009 London Marathon have raised £18,055,555.37 online via Justgiving,
worth £22,459,155.11 including Gift Aid to charities. The site was used by 17,843
people who generated 524,332 individual donations.

The total income was 7% higher than last year, but the average donation had dropped
