A man from Lutterworth is preparing to take part in the Leicester Marathon as she seeks to raise money for Help for Heroes (H4H).<\/p>\n
James Orton is hoping to collect £1,000 for the military charity by covering the 26.2 mile distance in October, the Harborough Mail reports.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old said he chose to run for H4H because of all of the good work it does in terms of helping out armed forces members.<\/p>\n
Mr Orton said the training has been very difficult, as he started from scratch in terms of his fitness levels.<\/p>\n
However, after completing a 20-mile run last Friday (September 7th), he is confident he will be able to complete the distance.<\/p>\n
Indeed, Mr Orton already has his sights set on the next challenge – swimming the English Channel.<\/p>\n
He hopes to get a friend to take on the swim with him, as he admitted he would not be able to do it on his own.<\/p>\n
