Sean Maguire completed his half marathon in London at the weekend ahead of his target time and raised £1,125 for charity – with more contributions to come.
His official time was 1'44:04. Maguire, editor, political and general news, ran in memory of Nick Doughty, former diplomatic correspondent who died in June 2003 aged 42 after a year-long battle with cancer.
Doughty's widow, Reuters colleague Caroline, is chairman of WAY, a British foundation for people who are widowed under age 50.

Sean Maguire gets ready to run in memory of Nick Doughty
Wednesday 23 September 2009
Sean Maguire, editor, political and general news, is getting ready to run a charity half marathon this weekend in memory of Nick Doughty, former diplomatic correspondent who died after a year-long battle with cancer.
Doughty, pictured below, was just 42 when he died in June 2003, leaving his Reuters colleague Caroline with daughters Ellie, 3, and Laura, 1.
Caroline is now chairman of WAY, a British foundation for people who are widowed under age 50.
Maguire, pictured right at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, set himself a target of raising £750 for WAY and has already burst through that mark with more than £1,000 pledged so far.
