This leukaemia charity is close to his heart. 15 years ago, the 7-year-old son of a friend was diagnosed with leukaemia, and the trust help him to find a tissue match. Since then Simon Russell has been on the bone-marrow register himself and is keen to promote the charity while raising as much money as possible.
This is his second London marathon. He achieved a time of 4 h 30 min in 2007 and hopes to better that time this year.
To help him reach his target, Heatrae Sadia has sponsored £500. Readers can sponsor him at the address below.
