00:00 Okay, so I'm David and this is Stephen and we're a father and son running team.

00:04 We've been lucky enough to get an assisted ballot place in the London

00:08 Marathon this year. There's only 10 available slots so we feel really lucky

00:13 to have been given the chance to do this. We've taken up running as just

00:17 something we can do together. Stephen's got cerebral palsy and he will be doing

00:22 an aid of the Dame Vera Lynn Children's Charity. It was his chosen charity

00:27 because Stephen attended there when he was two, till about seven years of age

00:30 and now 20 years later he feels it's time to do something good for them.

00:35 So that's what we're doing. We'll be running the London Marathon.
