Rutland Radio Breakfast Presenter Rob Persani is running the London Marathon in aid of local Charity Anna's Hope
Running a marathon is something I always wanted to, but never thought I'd actually do. I've been offered this place by Stamford charity Anna's Hope - but I do need to raise a minimum of £1500. The good news is every single penny goes to help children with brain tumours and support their families, nothing on administration. They've already funded a dedicated nurse, and she's been taken on by the NHS. Their next target is to build a rehabilitation centre at Addenbrookes in Cambridge. My Dad died due to complications following a brain tumour. He was only 57. I'd love him to see me do this, I'm sure he'll be helping me on the day, and if you can too, I'd really appreciate it.
