City Callum completes the London Marathon

And he needs your help to hit his fundraising target

Callum Overton has been in fine form for Chichester City this season, but he didn't play in their match against Sittingbourne on Saturday- perhaps because he had a pressing engagement with a pair of trainers and twenty six miles on Sunday morning!

Callum took part in the London Marathon, and completed the course in a rather impressive three hours, forty two minutes and forty one seconds. He did so to raise money for the charity 'Sense" which supports children with complex disabilities, and so far has reached a total of almost £1300.

As he explains on his Just Giving Page:

'Running the London marathon has always been a big dream of mine. To be able to tick this off my bucket list as well as raise money for such an amazing charity would be incredible. I would like to thank anyone that has donated so far already. I can’t do this without your support!

I'm fundraising for Sense, a charity that believes that no one, no matter how complex their disabilities, should be isolated, left out, or unable to fulfil their potential.Their experts offer personalised support through their centres, holidays and short breaks, or in people’s own homes. They are here for everyone who needs them, for as long as they need them – providing early intervention for children, helping young people access education, and supporting the transition into adulthood and beyond.'

You can help Callum reach his target by heading here and donating.

Well done Callum. Five goals and a London Marathon, and it's only just turned October!
