A self-employed electrician is set to tackle the London Marathon this weekend in support of a horse charity.
Swaffham runner Tom Brown, 29, will run the race for Norfolk charity, World Horse Welfare.
He began running during the Covid pandemic when restrictions paused activities at his cricket club.
Mr Brown said: "The charity means a great deal to me personally.
"My fiancée is a senior groom at Hall Farm Rescue and Rehoming Centre, in Snetterton, and has worked for the charity for over seven years.
"In that time, I’ve seen first-hand the impact World Horse Welfare’s work has - not just on horses, but on the people who care for them."
He is one of four runners representing the charity at this year’s marathon.
Kelly Clark, senior supporter services officer at World Horse Welfare, said: "We’re so grateful to Tom and our other runners for tackling this incredible challenge.
"Without the drive, dedication and compassion of wonderful fundraisers like them, we wouldn’t be able to continue helping horses in need."
