THE London Marathon takes place on Sunday, April 18, and it's hoped runners from the Bolton area will be taking part on behalf of Cancer Research Campaign, who called for 75 runners last October.

Each runner will represent one year of scientific development in cancer research - reflecting the Campaign's 75th anniversary.

If there are any runners from Bolton, good luck on the 18th.
