DARREN Evans from Tavistock, Devon raised more than £750 for Parkinson's UK, when he ran the London Marathon on Sunday. 

Darren, aged 42, completed the 26.2 mile challenge in 3 hours and 2 minutes, on the last day of Parkinson's Awareness Week (7-13 April). Darren joined a 225 strong team of athletes who were running for Parkinson's UK.
