DAVID Cleave, who works at Eakers DIY in Crediton is preparing to take part in the London Marathon on Sunday, April 24.

David, 31, says this is his very first full marathon, but has run six half marathons. He is running it in aid of CLIC Sargent and says he is looking for more sponsors.

If anyone would like to sponsor David he can be contacted at Eakers. He would be most grateful, as he feels that the charity, which supports cancer and leukaemia in children, is a very worthwhile cause.
