A MARATHON runner has completed a collection of medals for his three children.

Keld O'Shea ran his third London Marathon last month to raise money for Action for Dystonia, Diagnosis, Education & Research, which has its roots in the North-East.

The charity helps families with dystonia, a little-known condition that affects the central nervous system.

Mr O'Shea picked the charity because he has friends with the condition.

The 38-year-old, from Hurworth, near Darlington, raised more than £1,100 for the charity.

He completed the marathon in five hours and 25 minutes, collecting his third medal

He gave a medal each to his three children, eight-year-old twins Iona and Mairi, and Aidan, two.
