Minehead man raises over £2,400 by running London Marathon
A Minehead resident raised over £2,400 by running the London Marathon.
Edward Cleere took on the challenge on Sunday, April 27, to help the National Deaf Children's Society.
He chose to support the charity because he was born profoundly deaf and is passionate about their work helping deaf children.
The National Deaf Children's Society supports 50,000 deaf children and their families around the UK.
Edward said: "It was an honour and a privilege to run the London Marathon on behalf of the National Deaf Children's Society this year, as it meant so much to give back to a charity so close to my heart.
"I'm grateful to all those who donated towards my fundraising efforts, as well as those who supported me on the day."

"To conquer the London Marathon is a fantastic achievement.
"We're so proud of what you've achieved.
"The efforts of selfless fundraisers such as Edward will help us to keep on doing our vital work, now and into the future."
