A Leicestershire man has shown dedication to a children's charity with a number of fitness challenges in aid of the good cause.
Max Manani, who owns his own construction company has completed, a marathon, a half marathon and a sky dive for the NSPCC.
Around 18 years ago, Max and his wife had a baby who was stillborn, which inspired him to start working with children's charities.
Speaking to the Leicester Mercury Mr Manani said: "I worked with a charity which supported baby loss about five years ago and from there I did some running and thought I'd start to do something broader to help children in general. The rest is history really."
Working with the NSPCC has opened Max's eyes to all the ways the charity helps children.
Mr Manani continued: "I didn't realise they did so many different things. There's so much that they are involved with, like Childine, I didn't realise it was part of the NSPCC.
"It's so big now, you don't realise how much is going on. It's quite flabbergasting how many people and projects there are within the NSPCC.
"What you realise is what you take for granted is not the norm for a lot of people. It's not just money, it's love and attention, there are children who don't even get that.”
As well as fundraising with fitness challenges, Max has also got involved with volunteering with childline.
Max has run the London, Berlin and Chicago marathons and the Leicester Half marathon a number of times.
He is now in training to run the London marathon again in 2018 in aid of the NSPCC.
