Notes on Re-Draft
I listened to my audience feedback and added a quote in (Highlighted in Bold).
The quote is from my Auntie who ran the race so it was fairly easy to add this in, as the article is only due to be a short part of my newspaper I felt there was no need to add anything else in and kept it as above
