The dad who is running the extra miles in memory of his wife Lisa
October 27th, 2009
ANDY King describes himself as “no long-distance runner”.
Yet in the last two years the dad-of-two has twice tackled the Bupa Great North Run, and on Sunday he will embark on his first full marathon in New York.
The 35-year-old, who is originally from Thornaby, is runing in memory of his late wife, Lisa.
She lost her battle with lung cancer in April 2007, aged just 34, leaving behind a doting husband and two young children, Theo and Libby, now aged five and three.
