MUSCLING IN: Tim Macrow, Steve Gwilliam and Clare Denlegh-Maxwell with Murray Field.

AFTER many months of hard training, three Spa runners took to the streets of London to join the 35,000 other competitors in the 2008 Flora London Marathon.

Tim Macrow, Steve Gwilliam and Clare Denlegh-Maxwell ran as part of the Droitwich-based Murray's Muscles group. The group was set up in 2005 after Droitwich lad Murray was diagnosis with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

The group is dedicated to raising funds to find a treatment and potential cure for Murray and people like him suffering from the devastating muscle disease.

One in 3,000 people are born with this muscle disease every year.

The Muscular Dystrophy Campaign is the only UK charity focusing on all muscular dystrophies and allied disorders.

It has pioneered the search for treatments and cures for nearly 50 years and provides practical, medical and emotional support to more than 120,000 people in the UK affected by these conditions.

To date, the three runners have collectively raised £4,000, which will go to the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign.

If you would like to run in next year's marathon contact Jane Field on 01905 772458 or go to www.muscular-dystrophy.org
