A Camden man is gearing up for the British 10K London Run on behalf of a charity that helps children who are bullied at school.

David Harvey, who works as a digital media buyer in Covent Garden, will be running for Act Against Bullying, which has become a valued advisory body to teachers, health workers, parents and children since it was founded in 2002.  

"It's a fantastic charity and a great cause," said Mr Harvey, 29. "I am very happy to represent them."

The popular London race which boasts 25,000 entrants this year is scheduled to begin at 9.35am on Sunday morning at Hyde Park Corner.

Act Against Bullying founder Louise Burfitt-Dons said: "We are delighted that David will be giving up his Sunday to help us in this way. 

"Our runners are great role models for children who are being bullied at school to encourage them to 'keep going the distance'."
