THE Cross Keys is hosting a charity event tomorrow in aid of a Malvern man who will be putting his best foot forward when he tackles the London Marathon.

The Malvern Link pub is the venue for live music and a fundraising raffle organised by Paul Newman, who is running the marathon for Arcos.

It is this charity which supports and treats Mr Newman's father, since his diagnoses of Parkinson's disease.

Band The Reflections are the headline act at Cross Key's event, while the raffle includes prizes of a tickets to tour the Morgan Factory, a new mountain bike and a tickets to see top rugby outfit Worcester Warriors.

It will go ahead from 8pm, on Saturday.

Mr Newman will be running the marathon later this month.
