Tony said: “Please do give me a cheer if you see me, my bib number is 8728 so anybody that wishes can follow me on the TSC London marathon app. It’s been really tough training in such a hot summer but the experience of running the London Marathon is like nothing else on earth, it’s up there with my wedding day as best days of my life.
“I do understand that we are facing a cost-of-living crisis are many families are finding it hard at present, but Charites are also struggling, and I would be externally grateful to anybody that can spare a few pounds to support me.”
