A MOLD man will be taking part in the London marathon this year in aid of a diabetes charity.
Luke Anderson will be running the famous race on Sunday, April 23 in support of Diabetes UK - a cause close to his heart.
Luke owns the popular Mold bakery, Cravin' and is keen to show that physical goals can be accomplished after reaching 40 years of age.
To help support Luke's challenge and to raise some funds for the charity, his Just Giving page can be accessed here.
Speaking ahead of his challenge, the 41-year-old said: "I ran my first marathon last year in Chester and caught the running bug.
"I decided to aim for the London marathon next, I knew I wanted to raise money for Diabetes Uk as my brother and sister-in-law both have type one, and I see the struggles that they both go through.

"I’m feeling a little apprehensive about getting to London, more so than actually running!
"I’ve followed Sean Conway for endurance tips and inspiration. He was the first person to do a length of Britain triathlon, he also lives near Mold which is a bonus.
"I also want to prove that into your 40’s you can still accomplish physical goals that you want to achieve."
