A Grimethorpe postie has tackled his second marathon on Sunday after raising thousands of pounds for charity earlier this year.

 

Steven Milner 31, took part in the London marathon in April - raising more than £3,000 for Prostate Cancer UK.

He completed the gruelling 26-mile race in four hours 15 minutes.

 

But he says he was disappointed with his time and was hoping for a finish in the York marathon of under four hours this weekend.

 

Steven, of Cudworth View, has been a postman for the last three years.

He says he has continued his training since the London marathon but has been pulling on his trainers after walking ten to 12 miles a day with his postbag.

He is raising funds for Diabetes UK and said he chose the charity as his cousin's daughter has type two diabetes.

 

Donations can be made at Grimethorpe post office.
