Ref. 24061-113SWINDON Iron Man Brian Hall has set himself a new challenge to raise money for victims of the tsunami.

Brian, 22, will take to the streets of Swindon this week to raise money.

So on Thursday the fitness fanatic will be running from pub to pub around Swindon collecting for the disaster appeal.

"I have been watching the news a lot over the past few days," he said.

"I was planning lots of events this year to raise money for other things and I thought I should be doing something for this.

"I hope all the pubs let me in to collect and that people give generously."

He has not yet set a route but he will be trying to get around as many pubs as possible during the day on Thursday. In September Brian (pictured), from Rodbourne, completed a double marathon to raise money for the children's unit at the Great Western Hospital.

That was his way of saying thank you to staff at the hospital who saved his life when he collapsed with kidney stones. Mr Hall spent much of his childhood in hospital after being born with a pelvis that was not joined at the front. At the age of nine he was told he would never be able to run.
