AN intrepid runner from Nomansland is preparing to take on a gruelling off-road marathon in Wales next month.

David Hill, pictured, is taking on the Anglesey Coastal Trail Marathon on Saturday, January 18, in aid of a charity that supports suffering greyhounds.

“I don’t normally ask for sponsorship when doing a run.

“However, I recently came across some very upsetting images which I could not ignore. Those pictures motivated me to raise money for Greyhound Rescue West of England (GRWE),” Hill said.

“I think GRWE do an amazing job rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing unwanted and abused greyhounds and lurchers.”

“My wife and I have a whippet and have fallen in love with all sight hounds due to their good natured and loving personalities.”
