[Amy Jade]

If someone takes part and has trained and has every intention of completing the run but for any reason finds themselves unable to finish then yes then I would agree it is the 'taking part that counts' of course.

All the facts indicate she had no intentions of finishing. She never trained, she wore a costume too heavy to run in and she turned up in full make up and a full head of thick extentions. After dropping out she was seen in a cafe and then in a resturant having cakes while others laboured on.

As I said, she took someones place who may have been desperate to run, trained hard and wanted to raise money but they were unable to get a place to this attention seeker wanted her pictur taken.
