The CEO of HSBC Channel Islands is running the New York Marathon in aid of Jersey Childcare Trust.
It will be the third time Warwick Long, CEO of HSBC Channel Islands and Isle of Man, will run the New York Marathon.
He previously ran it in 2006 at the age of 40, and in 2016 at the age of 50.
The Jersey Childcare Trust says the funds raised will help its ongoing work to support children and families facing challenges such as poverty, disability and additional needs, giving children the best possible start in life and helping them thrive through childhood.
Mr Long said:
"A marathon is as much a mental challenge as it is a physical one, but raising funds for the Jersey Child Care Trust gives this run a very special purpose.
"Supporting children and families in our local community matters greatly to me, and JCCT makes a real difference to people’s lives. I’m proud to support the charity and help ensure children get the opportunity to flourish."
This will be the first New York Marathon he'll run alongside his daughter, who ran her first one ten years ago.
Fiona Vacher, CEO of Jersey Childcare Trust, said:
"We are incredibly grateful to Warwick for taking on this challenge in support of JCCT. He has been a longstanding friend of the charity and it is wonderful to see him once again going the extra mile for Jersey's children and families.
"Every donation will help us continue providing support, opportunities and early intervention for children who are facing significant challenges.
"When children receive the right support at the right time, it can make a lifelong difference and Warwick's efforts will help ensure more children get that chance."
The marathon is taking place on Sunday 1 November.
