Sir Steve Redgrave tops fundraising chart
Olympic hero Sir Steve Redgrave has won the race to be named the London Marathon's top celebrity fundraiser.
The rower and five-times Olympic gold medal winner raised more than 1.75 million for his charity, the Steve Redgrave Trust, when he ran the marathon in 2006.
Figures from the website JustGiving.com put him a long way ahead of his rivals with former Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell in second place, having raised more than 300,000 for a leukaemia charity.
Other celebrities in the top ten include former boxer Michael Watson, Peter Andre and his ex-wife Katie Price.
Among the celebrities who are set to run this year's marathon on Sunday are impressionist Ronni Ancona and singer Will Young.
