TALLEST London Marathon runner Matthew Everitt would like to say a big thank you to everyone who supported his efforts at this year's event.

Matthew, who completed the race in six hours and 28 minutes, has already raised more than £1,400 for the National Asthma Campaign.

He would especially like to thank Margaret Ashbrook, Rudheath High School, Kwik Tan, Poplar Stores, Harry's Chippy, Sal's Hairzone and everyone who sponsored him.

If you did agree to sponsor Matthew but have not yet handed your donation in, a collection pot has been set up at Poplar Stores in Middlewich Road, or ring Matthew on 07977 289445.
