Groveley’s operations manager Stuart Leaper is to run the London Marathon in April to raise funds for Poole Hospital Charity.

It’s his first-ever marathon and he’s training hard, running every other day and gradually increasing his distance. He’s on a tough 16-week regime to get him up to speed.

Stuart aims to raise in excess of £1,500 for for the hospital, where 15 years ago he had life-changing surgery for his hearing. Both his children were born there, too.

He has always wanted to run the London Marathon, especially since his wife ran it in 2015.

He has set up a JustGiving page for people who want to sponsor him… could you cheer him on by visiting the page and making a donation? Here it is… www.justgiving.com/stuartleaper
