HUW Dixon was one of the hundreds of local runners who ran in last week's Flora London Marathon to raise money for charity.

Dixon, who works as a surveyor and lives in Chislehurst, raised £850 when he ran for the British Heart Foundation.

He said: "I ran the London Marathon for the British Heart Foundation because my mother has had heart problems."

Dixon, pictured above after collecting his finisher's medal, completed the 26.2-mile course in three hours 41mins.
