Swindon editor inspired to run for charity

The editor of the Swindon Advertiser, Mark Waldron, is to run the Swindon half-harathon in October to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. He was inspired to do so after the paper's Swindon Cancer Appeal hit its £1m target earlier this year. He says: "Having sat back and watched so many other people raise money I thought I should also play a part." Waldron will be writing a weekly diary in the Adver in the run-up to his run.
