A dad-of-twins is completing two marathons tomorrow in aid of Twins Trust.
Richard Hayward, of Willesborough, Ashford, will take on two marathons tomorrow across four disciplines.
He hopes to rack up the 52 miles by running, rowing, skiing and on his assault bike.
Richard and wife Laura were surprised when – 12 weeks into her pregnancy – they were told they were having two boys.
