From The Telegraph:
Mancunian model Agyness Deyn and Dolce & Gabbana's favourite, David Gandy, swapped the catwalk for the finishing line as they took part in the Virgin London Marathon yesterday.
Deyn's best friend, fashion designer Henry Holland, joined the top models to pound the streets - along with 36,000 other runners - to raise money for their chosen cause: Oxfam.
But who was first past the finishing line…? Holland, as a matter of fact, in an impressive three hours, 28 minutes and 59 seconds.
"NEVER AGAIN," the exhausted designer tweeted after the race.
An hour behind him was Gandy, who completed in 4 hours 35 minutes, quickly followed ten minutes later by Deyn, who couldn't wait to share her experience via Twitter: "Running the marathon is such a powerful experience which digs deep into the soul of your being. I highly recommend!"
Deyn recently took a trip to Tanzania to visit a project funded by Oxfam, and made a rare television appearance on Lorraine Live to promote the charity, saying: "I've grown up with Oxfam shops, but actually going there makes it so real, so moving, so meaningful to be in contact with the kids and the communities."
