Emon Choudhury from Saltaire will run the Manchester Marathon while fasting during Ramadan.
A man who felt inspired to support motor neurone disease charities after meeting Leeds Rhinos legend Rob Burrow plans to run two marathons.
Mr Choudhury said he knew nothing about MND before meeting Mr Burrow and other people with the disease at an awards ceremony."I'm a rugby fan so I already knew who he was and I was just in awe of him, having watched him professionally," he said. Mr Choudhury also went to cheer on Burrow's friend and former team-mate Kevin Sinfield as he completed his ultramarathon challenge for charity.
He had hoped to run the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon on 14 May but said when the date was announced it clashed with a family holiday.
