A 67-year-old Andover man is set to walk the 875 miles from Lands End to John O'Groats to raise money for charity.
Les Morgan of Valencia Way, starts his mammoth walk on 15 April. The marathon is one of four childhood ambitions. "Another one of those ambitions is to write a book."
He wants to write a book about his year-long training, the journey and the support of his family and friends. Les has run 11 marathons, two of them pushing his friend Craig Bedford who is in a wheelchair.
The money raised will be divided between Cancer Research, Leuk-aemia Research and Andover's Naomi House Children's Hospice.
