A Marathon Challenge!

60 Marathons in 60 Weeks at 60!

A Dorset man plans on running 60 marathons in 60 weeks to mark his 60th Birthday whilst raising £60,000 for charity!

Barry Light, who turns 60 on 22nd December plans to donate the sum raised to 6 local charities, including The Wessex Autistic Society.
