A Taunton man has set himself a mammoth running challenge next month and will be completing the run to raise funds for his beloved football club.

Troy Webster is taking part in a 87-mile run, along Dorset's Jurassic Coast on April 6 and 7.

The run has to be completed in under 25 hours, so it will mean he will be running right through the night.

Troy is undertaking the run to raise money for Taunton Town Football Club who have been undergoing a season of financial hardship.

Due to a number of postponed home fixtures, the club has seen limited income and such has debts owed to HMRC.

Troy set himself the target of £1000 and is now very close to that but before he sets off on April 6, would like to reach it.

Troy said: "For this event, I have chosen to fundraise for my local football club, Taunton Town F.C.

"I have followed the club since I was a boy and like everyone else that follows the club, I am aware of the financial struggles the club has been facing throughout recent times."

Good luck on the run, Troy!
