Mr Farnsworth will take part in the race to raise money for Spinal Research.
He said running had become part of his long-term recovery once he had learned to walk again.He added: "I've run quite a lot of half-marathons and marathons before, and I think this might be my last hurrah."I once ran the London Marathon as an illuminated bee, and I wanted to do something different. I remembered a chap did it as Big Ben and got stuck under the finish line, so I thought I'd pick a different landmark on the course."Mr Farnsworth, who hopes to raise £2,250 for the charity, said he aimed to complete the 26.3 mile (42.2km) course in under five hours.

Wrexham dad takes on marathon mission for Hope House
For his next challenge, Matt Jones, from Wrexham, will be power hiking 26 marathons consecutively in 26 days, from John O'Groats to London with the fridge freezer on his back, finishing with the London Marathon itself on April 26, 2026. Matt's last challenge called 'One Bet' saw him complete a 112km walk across the Clwydian Range with the fridge, including 15,000ft of elevation gain, to honour a bet he made with his late wife Vicky and their four children. Matt Jones on his last challenge. Vicky passed away in December 2024. Highlighting her mantra of "never be normal, never be boring", and setting a positive example to his children drove Matt to raising an incredible £75,000 for Hope House Tŷ Gobaith. Announcing the new challenge, Matt said: "This isn't just a stunt - it's a tribute from me and children to Vicky. "It's about strength in the face of loss. It's about the families supported by Hope House. "It's a reminder that with the right team, the right cause, and a bit of madness - anything is possible." He added: "Doing the Llangollen challenge genuinely helped me a lot. But after our visit to Hope House, we were inspired to do something else. "I popped a message in a WhatsApp chat I have with my support crew and the idea of going from Llangollen to London for the Marathon came up. "The guys humoured me, saying it wasn't far enough, and all downhill to the Capital.

"My brother-in-law, Simon, worked it out that the distance is exactly that of 26 marathons - so there it was. "Coming back from visiting Hope House with the kids, we spoke about it and stopped the car. I asked them, 'are we going to do this?' and the answer was a resounding 'yes'." Matt Jones aka Fridge Freezer Man and his 'Wolfpack' present their fundraising cheque at Hope House. Matt said: "This challenge really is the next level for us as a team. It's over 1,000km. "But, with the support of my crew and The Wolfpack (my children) I know we can do it. "The training plan has started. I'm mostly worried how the feet and prosthetic hip will hold up… physically and mentally I know we can do this.

Southport victims to be celebrated in major 'beautiful, positive' tribute
Work is underway to build a playground commemorating Alice Aguiar and Bebe King at Churchtown Primary school in Southport their parents say will preserve their 'beautiful' memories The parents of two girls who died in the Southport attack have said a playground in their memory will serve as a 'beautiful, positive" commemoration. Sergio and Alex Aguiar and Lauren and Ben King visited their daughter's former primary school as work on the playground and library got underway. The project, at Churchtown Primary, will include a stage in memory of their daughters, Alice Aguiar, nine, and six-year-old Bebe King, who died in the July 29 attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class. Mrs King said: 'We've all made a choice - we want to continue our daughters' light and energy, always. They wouldn't want it any other way." She said the families had to 'keep searching for those glimmers - the light in the dark', adding: 'When the pupils are here they will think of Alice and Bebe but it will be in a beautiful, positive memory. It won't be anything negative for them, which will help them to move forward.' The playground is one of several projects that have been set up in remembrance of the girls, including Alice's Wonderdance, Bebe's Hive, and Elsie's Story, set up in memory of seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe, who also died in the attack. The library and stage in the playground are intended to celebrate Alice and Bebe's shared love of books, creativity, and performing. Mr Aguiar, who ran the London marathon to raise funds for the playground, said it 'meant a lot' that there would be a lasting tribute at the school where they were pupils. He said: 'They are always going to be a part of this school. I think it's going to look brilliant. The children are going to love the playground.' Nearly £400,000 has already been raised for the project. Any surplus funds will be shared between local charities supporting Southport's recovery in the wake of the attack. Mr King said: 'So much is going to happen here and it's going to be so exciting for the school and the friends of Bebe and Alice. It's just going to be fantastic and bring so much joy to them.' Mrs Aguiar added: 'A lot of generations are going to enjoy the playground here in the name of the girls. It's going to be very special. It's going to be a new start for everyone." Both sets of parents said they had no doubt their daughters would approve of the playground. Mrs King said: 'We said they would be fighting for the first base on the stage or they will end up doing a complicated dance routine together, showing their friends. They would just love it.' Head teacher, Jinnie Payne, who also ran the London Marathon as part of the fundraising drive, said the start of the construction work marked a significant step in a journey that has united the school in grief, determination and hope. She said: 'This will be a place full of colour and laughter, where Alice's and Bebe's enthusiasm lives on and inspires others.'. It is hoped the playground will be completed ahead of the start of the new school year in September.

Jesy Nelson admits being in 'constant state of fear' during tough pregnancy with twins
Former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson has opened up about her difficult pregnancy journey as her twins Ocean and Story make their very first live TV appearance on This Morning Former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson has opened up about the rare health condition that left her in "a constant state of fear" during her pregnancy with twin girls Ocean and Story. Back in May, Jesy gave birth to twin girls, naming them Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster. Speaking in her first live interview with This Morning, Jesy, who shares her twins with Zion Foster, opened up about learning that her twin girls had twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome - a rare condition that threatened their lives before they were born. "I couldn't believe the percentages and what could potentially happen to them. I almost felt from that point I couldn't really enjoy my pregnancy because I was constantly worried that something would happen," she said. "I could only take it two weeks at a time." Opening up about the symptoms, she said: "There were symptoms to look out for - if your belly gets really tight like a drum, if you're struggling with your breathing. "We went to the park and I couldn't even walk because I was so out of breath." However, she added that she often couldn't tell the difference between signs of the condition and what was normal for a pregnancy with twins. She added that she was in a "constant state of fear" due to the twins' condition. Thankfully, Jesy delivered the baby girls in May, announcing the news on Instagram. Jesy said: "So… Our beautiful baby girls decided to come at 31weeks plus 5 days. It all happened so quickly, but we are so blessed that they are here with us, healthy and fighting strong! We've never felt more in love. Everybody meet Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster. Born on 15.05.2025." The first-time mum had lived in hospital for ten weeks before the birth, after their daughters developed twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome in the womb. The rare condition could have been fatal for both babies so the couple planned for Jesy's labour to be induced once the twins were deemed strong enough around the 32 week stage. In the months leading up to Ocean and Story's birth, Jesy documented her difficult and emotional pregnancy for fans. She required emergency surgery in April after the twin-to-twin transfusion diagnosis, with Jesy telling fans at the time: "We feel so grateful and blessed that these little babies are still going strong." Jesy and Zion began dating back in November 2022, with the musician running the London Marathon in May to raise money for the Twins Trust - a charity which offers support for families with twins. Speaking to The Mirror at the time, Zion said of the twins: 'They're giving us so much hope they're going to come out healthy. Jesy and the twins have come through so much. There were so many times in this pregnancy we didn't think we'd get to where we are now. "Their strength has been unmatched. We literally feel like we know them already just because of how much they've overcome. Their characters are so strong. They're so brave.' Earlier this year, Jesy revealed that she will be showing her pregnancy journey on screen as part of a six-part documentary. Set to arrive on Prime Video, the series will follow the ups-and-downs of her pregnancy experience. Jesy said: "I feel so excited and proud that we can finally reveal we have been filming our own series for Amazon! We met with the creative director Demi Foyle and Producer Gavin Evans at Navybee and letting the cameras in wasn't an easy decision for us as it's such a deeply personal time but I knew I wanted to tell my story in my own words. "We opened the doors fully and I'm really looking forward to letting you all in as I navigate my way to becoming a first time mum to our beautiful baby girls Ocean and Story. I'll be honest, it's not been easy as it's been such a high risk pregnancy, so you'll see all the highs and lows and rollercoaster of emotions we have been going through. I hope you will all join me on this journey as I really open up and say goodbye to the past and enter this new chapter in my life. I hope you love it as much as we do." Meanwhile, Prime Video said that Jesy will "share her truth like never before", with the documentary featuring footage of "weekly hospital visits and candid conversations" as well as the unwavering support of her loved ones. Jesy is also set to open up about her decision to leave Little Mix in 2020, her mental health difficulties and the controversies that hit her career.
