365 days later...

It's one year to the day since London ground to a halt after 4 people tried to rip the heart out of London. So what did they achieve...? I believe that the bombers only united London stronger together and brought the communities of London into unity itself. People that have never spoken before, Old and Young, Christian and Muslim and Next Door neighbour's got united in a stand over terrorism like never before seen in London. For the families of the 52 it was beyond words. For the survivors, the scars may never heal. For London, it was a chance to get stronger. As a Tube Challenger it has been a tough year. We do not want to add to pressure or to make people worried. Our first response was to raise money for the victims. We did this by completing the 275 at walking pace. We were giving out the message that We Are Not Afraid. Normal life should not be affected by the awful actions on July 7. We have since then picked up the pace back to normal. No-one is attempting any type of challenge today - common sense has prevailed there. My message to you all... If you haven't observed the 2 minute silence then please do at some point. Do it out of respect if nothing else. Secondly, carry on with life like normal. Yes, be more vigilant, but don't let some terrorists stop you from enjoying life or going about your business. Yes, I believe more attacks will come, but noone knows when or where, so carry on as normal. God bless.
