Radio Leeds breakfast presenter Andrew Edwards is running the London
Marathon on Sunday 18 April, hoping to raise at least £1,500.
To add to the challenge of running 26 miles, Andrew has been persuaded
to become a pup for the day - and wear floppy ears and a tail!
Co-presenter Liz Rhodes says: "It was quite a job coming up
with something that would look good, wouldn't fall off and wouldn't
drive Andrew mad while he was staggering along. I think I've just
about managed it!".
If
you'd like to sponsor Andrew you can send a cheque, made payable
to "Guide Dogs", to: Andrew Edwards, BBC Radio Leeds,
Woodhouse Lane, Leeds LS2 9PN.
Alternatively you can donate
online, direct to Andrew's account at the Guide Dogs for
the Blind Association, using any debit or credit card.
"I
- and our four legged friends - would really appreciate whatever
you can afford", says Andrew, who's hoping to finish the race
in just over four hours.

"To
spur you on to generosity Liz and I are giving you the chance to
get creative.
"We'll
send a bottle of champagne and Pound for a Pup soft dog to the winner
of the wittiest, clean caption to this photo of me trying out my
new outfit for the first time!"

The
