First Capital Connect’s Lee Potter to run the London Marathon
08/02/2012
A clerk at First Capital Connect will be running the London Marathon this April to raise money for the national disability charity Scope.
Lee Potter, 24 from Stevenage, has been taking part in a number of runs throughout the country, including the Stevenage Half Marathon and the Royal Parks Marathon, as part of his personal weight loss programme. Since last autumn Lee has lost over 12 stone 3 lbs.
To prepare for the marathon Lee has been working out in his local gym with a personal trainer and going for 10 mile runs to prepare himself for the unpredictable British weather that he’ll experience on the day.
Commenting on the upcoming London Marathon, Lee Potter said:
“My whole programme is leading up to the London Marathon. I began my preparation at my first running event in October last year and I have since completed a further four.
“I chose Scope as my dedicated charity as I believe they offer a tremendous amount of support for people with Cerebral Palsy and their families. It really is a worthy cause and I would like to thank every one who has supported me so far.”
Neal Lawson, Managing Director of FCC, said:
"Lee is an absolute inspiration. What he's achieved is phenomenal. Everyone at FCC is right behind him and wish him the very best in his marathon effort."
