A FUND-RAISER who has never run a marathon in his life is taking on the London spectacular.
Bill Fogg, of Snape Street, Darwen, is tackling the 26-mile course around the capital on April 14 to raise money for Cancer Research UK. Charity spokesman Linda Chatburn said she needed more people like Bill to take up the challenge.
She said: "It is absolutely fantastic what Bill is doing for the charity.
"Without people like him we wouldn't be able to exist. Bill is being really brave because he hasn't run a marathon before, so we are really grateful to him."
Anyone wishing to sponsor Bill should contact Linda on 01254 703731.
