A FIREFIGHTER from Biggleswade will be taking part in the Brighton Marathon to raise money for the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust.
Chris, a member of the London Fire Brigade, chose the charity, which takes young people recovering from cancer sailing to help them rebuild their confidence, after hearing about it from a friend.
He said: “I hadn’t heard of it before but after it was mentioned to me I researched it and saw what a fantastic charity it was, I thought it was a worthy cause and wanted to help.”
He is aiming to raise £500. To make a donation visit www.justgiving.com/Chris-Mattingley or email cmattingley@sky.com
