CHRIS Simpson, from Catshill, is appealing to businesses in the Bromsgrove area to sponsor him in this year's New York Marathon.
The 35-year-old businessman lost about 56lbs in weight last year and wants to celebrate by raising as much money as he can for Weston Spirit, a charity set up to help young disadvantaged people reach their potential. The big day is on Sunday, November 6.
Chris, who has already raised more than £2,000, can be contacted on 07765 896679.
