Runners in the county are making their final preparations for the London Marathon on Sunday.
Philip Fewtrell from Shrewsbury will have a special starting place, alongside celebrities, in recognition of his efforts to raise funds for the Mental Health Foundation.
After running more than 700 miles in training, he's now looking forward to getting started.
Quote MessageI'm getting a bit nervous, I'll admit it. I've got a few butterflies in the stomach at the thought of it. I couldn't have done any more preparation than I've done, so it's fingers crossed now that all of that will pay off on the big day."
