Chris Barry
Chris Barry, 34, will be taking on this year’s London Marathon in his longest ever run.
The Maidenhead resident has never run a marathon, having completed a couple of 10kilometre races in the past.
He will be running for Sarcoma UK, a bone and soft tissue cancer charity, and began training in April on a programme of cardio, strength training and welldeserved rest days.
“I’m so happy I’ve raised over and above my pledge, I’ve raised £4,500 for the charity,” Chris told the Adver tiser.
“I can’t wait to get going on Sunday and try to enjoy the occasion, soak up the atmosphere and run with a smile on my face.”
