Sam Fletcher, 34, from Anlaby, said he wanted to help fund blood cancer care and research for patients like his mother, who has been receiving treatment for eight years."Cancer touches everyone in some way", Mr Fletcher said and hoped he could make a "real difference".

He has been a dedicated runner since 2020 and will be covering 655 miles (1,054km) to raise funds and awareness for the charity Cure Leukaemia.Mr Fletcher has been using a high-calorie diet ahead of the challenge and will be consuming over 5,000 calories daily to sustain his energy levels.He said the toughest in the series of marathons is expected to be number 15, the Rob Burrow Marathon in Leeds, which has steep inclines.

He said his motivation is also fuelled by the support of his family, friends, and the community.The challenge, he said, wasn't just about running: "I'm pushing myself to the limits to raise money and awareness for a charity that gives people like my mum, hope", he said.

"My mum has been fortunate to benefit from a tablet based treatment with fewer side effect that traditional chemotherapy. She is currently in remission and that's all thanks to research charities like Cure Leukaemia."

The challenge includes marathons in London, Newcastle, Manchester and Leeds and ends on 21 May at the Costello Stadium in Hull.He said a lack of industry and employment opportunities were the biggest factors behind young people moving away from rural communities.

He said he did not think Article 4 would mean more affordable homes."It won't make a difference, there’s nearly 80 unsold properties under £200,000 within a 10-mile radius of Abersoch at the moment on Rightmove.

"The frustration is that nobody has a right to buy where they were born – that's something we see all over the country."For example, if you were born in Mayfair, it doesn't mean you have a right to buy a home in Mayfair, and doesn't necessarily mean you should change policies and peoples' right and freedoms to sell on an open market."
