Maldon man Tom Broadhurst will be tackling the London Marathon next month in order to raise money for Farleigh Hospice.
The hospice cared for his friend, David Randall, who was battling bowel cancer and sadly passed away last summer, aged just 27.
The 23-year-old, who befriended Mr Randall during their time playing for Maldon Cricket Club, has already staged a fundraising event at the OAKhouse, which raised just over £1000 for charity.
