Did the London Marathon leave you inspired?

Well, East Cheshire NHS Charity is now offering exclusive places for next year's event, giving you the chance to tackle the world's most iconic 26.2-mile course while raising money for local healthcare services.

In doing so, you will be following in the footsteps of runners like Elliot Edwards, who supported the charity, which provides extra support beyond NHS funding at this year's race.

"It was truly an experience like no other," Elliot said.

"The hardest and most rewarding race yet. 30km met the point of no return but I loved every minute.

"Sign up for a place now!"

He said: "Thank you to everyone who has supported me in my training and fundraising for the London Marathon. Whilst the weather was a bit warmer than I would have liked the atmosphere was amazing.

"I would highly recommend anyone thinking of doing it to enter the ballot or support a charity next year. It's great to have been able to support East Cheshire NHS Charity who have played a big part in my life."
