WITH the London Marathon only three months away, I would like to thank all those who are running for the Starlight Children's Foundation and invite other runners who are not yet running for a charity to join them.

The money they raise will help to brighten the lives of critically and terminally-ill children and their families by funding projects in hospitals and granting the wishes of a lifetime for children around the UK.

To join Starlight's Runners call 020 7430 1642.
