BEN Cormack may organise a monthly comedy event in Chelmsford, but he's well aware that tackling the London Marathon will be no laughing matter.
Mr Cormack, 30, will take on the run to raise money for Chelmsford CHESS, a charity which provides support for homeless people in the city.
"CHESS serves our community in so many ways and does so with great success and a truly inspiring positive attitude," said Mr Cormack.
"Serving Chelmsford's homeless population is an incredibly noble cause and it's up to everyone who appreciates CHESS's hard work to show their support."
