Cordelia was running in memory of her father, Tom O’Neill, who lived in Steyning.
She said: “Running the marathon was fantastic and I was thrilled with my time.
“I woke up this morning and I didn’t want to do it but I took my dad’s library card with a little picture of him and I had it in my pocket. Every time I felt like giving up I touched it and thought about him and remembered why I was doing it.
