Last week Wood International Agency director Alan Lamont completed a half marathon, but it was a mere warm-up compared with the London marathon, which he will be running on April 17.
Mr Lamont, who completed the Brentwood half marathon in 1 hour and 47 minutes, is running the marathon in aid of St Francis Hospice.
“I’m not running this marathon just for a sense of enormous personal achievement, but also, and more importantly, to raise money for a charity very dear to me. Too many close friends and family have been touched in some way by cancer in recent years. St Francis Hospice in Havering-atte-Bower helps in so many ways to make it more bearable,” said Mr Lamont.
He hopes to raise £1,800 for the hospice. Donations can be made at www.justgiving.com/alan-lamont.
“Any sponsorship, no matter how small, will be gratefully received; even just one pound can help to make a difference, and help me to reach my target,” said Mr Lamont.
