Overmatter: Fespa man's marathon effort for charity

This year has already been a busy one for Fespa's sales and marketing director Marcus Timson. When he's not been travelling the globe taking part in the ever-growing network of Fespa live events, Marcus has been training a whopping six days a week for the forthcoming London Marathon.

Marcus will run the marathon on 17 April in aid of The Children’s Trust, which provides care, therapy and education for children with multiple disabilities.

"In 2009, The Children’s Trust opened a high-tech rehabilitation centre for children with brain injuries, but they need people to give generously if they are going to maintain and update these facilities, or invest in additional resources," he says.

"I am proud to be running the marathon for an organisation which offers such incredible help to injured children around the UK."

The Fespa supremo is aiming to raise £2,000 for the charity but with your help he could easily surpass that total – so please visit www.justgiving.com/MarcusTimson and give generously.
