Cooper prepares for marathon effort

Cooper Clegg chairman Ian Cooper will run his first full marathon at the age of 61-and-a-half when he takes part in the Flora London Marathon this weekend.

"I hope it will be fun as well as pain," said Cooper, who has shed more than four stone since he took up running again last year after a gap of more than 40 years.

 

Cooper is running in aid of the Myasthenia Gravis Association, a condition he suffered from himself in the 1970s. To sponsor him call 01684 850050.
