WOOTON Courtenay fund-raiser Oliver Neville-Payne will be running in this year’s London Marathon on April 23 – hoping to make dreams come true.

He is running for children and young people aged between two and 21 who have serious and life-limiting medical conditions.

Oliver said: “Over the last 26 years, the small charity Dreams Come True has helped brighten the lives of more than 5,000 children and young people by arranging for them to meet their heroes, enjoy amazing experiences, visit special places and much more.

“For some, a dream is simply to enjoy everyday activities so the charity is also provides specialist items such as disability trikes, wheelchair swings, sensory equipment and technology.

“I have been supporting Dreams Come True for the past five years and have competed in many fun runs and half -marathons as well as completing the 2015 London Marathon in just over four hours.

“Last summer I took part in the Mongol Rally, a gruelling 15,000 miles across Europe, Asia and the Gobi desert with no support or back-up, in a 16-year-old Nissan Micra raising further funds for this fantastic charity.”

Oliver hopes to finish this year’s London Marathon in four hours or less. Sponsorship donations can be made online by visiting http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com and searching for Oliver Neville-Payne.
