Doran Scotson completed his second successive Seaford Half Marathon on Sunday in support of the East Grinstead Advance Centre.

The 32-year-old, who suffers from cerebral palsy, was joined by East Grinstead Nuyuu gym manager Ross Thornton.

Ross said: "It was a rough day. Doran took a couple of falls, but he got up and did really well."

The pair beat Doran's finishing time of last year by four minutes and are now looking ahead to the Brighton Marathon in April next year.

The half marathon is hoped to have raised around £2,000 for the charity, which treats children with cerebral palsy and autism.
