A runner is looking to help to organise a marathon fundraising challenge.

Former Royal Engineer Richard Brough, 25, wants to run the London marathon next year to raise money for equipment at South Cleveland Hospital, in Middlesbrough.

As well as training for the race, Richard, of Coulby Newham, Middlesbrough, is busy at college and work so is looking for a helping hand with the race administration.

Every penny he raises will go to the hospital, but Richard would like someone to organise sponsorship while he gets on with his training for the race.

Anyone who would like to volunteer to help should call (01642) 500932
