Liberman said: “It truly was an inspiring and life-changing challenge and to complete it on my 50th birthday was an event I will never forget.
“My team and I are indebted to our support crew, who without them, we would not have completed the challenge and also to Oxfam who organize the event and the Queens Ghurkas who support the event logistically.
“A true highlight of the day was a group of Horsham Joggers who surprised me by appearing at Chanctonbury Ring with champagne and a chorus of happy birthday.”
