THE NATIONAL Heart Research Fund is searching for runners who have a place in the 2001 Flora London Marathon in April, to raise cash for them.
Heart Research has provided funding for vital heart research at Southampton General Hospital and currently funds £1.4 million of projects throughout the UK.
Mike Atkins from Heart Research said: "Many people have already taken up the challenge, and the race is now on to find others who have a place in this gruelling event, who want to help the fight against Britain's biggest killer.
"We work as a team, supporting runners before the event with help and advice on fundraising."
* If you would like to raise cash for Heart Research in the marathon, contact Mike Garnett or Helen Atkins on 0113 234 7474.
