He will be pushing his famous pram along the course hoping for donations in his bucket from spectators lining the route.

John, aged 83, who also recently completed the Great North Run, is lovingly known as the Man with the Pram and has made it his mission to raise £1 million for Macmillan Cancer Support after tragically losing his wife June to cancer and then his daughter Karen died in the space of a year.
