MALVERN solicitor Marcus Fisher successfully completed the world-famous London Marathon this year.

Mr Fisher ran the marathon on behalf of St Richards Hospice and the Leigh and Bransford Badgers Football Club. He raised a total of £1000.

“It was a fantastic day. The crowds were amazing,” said Mr Fisher, who works at Gaynor Smith Owen.

He said he was glad to have completed the gruelling event.

“It was hard work and a very hot day and I’m not sure I’d do it again. I was just glad I managed to finish,” he said, adding that the support from the crowds lining the street had kept him going for the final 10 miles.
