Southport supporter Ben Highton will be running the Southport half-marathon this Sunday (July 5) to raise funds for Trust in Yellow.

Ben will be competing in the 13.1-mile race around the town and has very kindly agreed to donate his sponsorship money to the Trust.

Please support Ben as he prepares for the half-marathon by making a donation. You can e-mail fans@trustinyellow.com or donate through PayPal by clicking donate on our homepage and enter Ben’s name in the comments box.

Having started running two years ago, this will be Ben’s first organised race and he is set to be one of the youngest participants involved.

A Southport supporter since season 2002/03, Ben is a programme seller at home matches and travels the length and breadth of the country following the Sandgrounders, rarely missing a game.

Recently, Ben has increased his training runs up to ten miles and his target is to complete the half-marathon within two hours.

All sponsorships will be gratefully received.
