LOCAL hotelier Richard Slate, director of the Albany Hotel, The Norton, Tenby, is running his third London Marathon on April 25.

In 2008, Richard ran for RNLI, raising over £2,000, and this year is running for a diabetes charity that he also ran for in 2003 (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation - JDRF).

He is part of a team of 130 all wearing the distinctive running vests featuring 'PINGU'.

You can donate online or call into The Albany Hotel and use the sponsor form on the bar.

JDRF is the leading charitable organisation in the world with a primary objective of funding the cure for TYPE 1 Diabetes and its complications. It is a chronic and life-threatening condition with a life-long impact on those diagnosed and their families. It normally strikes children and incidences in children under five years of age have increased five-fold in the last 20 years.

Richard and JDRF would be extremely grateful for your generous support.
