Former City man Simon Lappin to run London Marathon for The Nest campaign

Former Canaries favourite Simon Lappin is set to swap football boots for running shoes in April to fundraise for the Community Sports Foundation’s #BuildTheNest campaign.

The man dubbed the ‘King of Spain’ by the City faithful will take on the 26.2 miles of the Virgin Money London Marathon to lend his support to the campaign, which is aiming to raise a total of £1 million to complete a second phase of construction at the Foundation’s community hub in Horsford.

Norwich City Football Club have pledged to match fund up to £500,000 of the funds raised and currently the campaign total stands at £400,000, including match funding.
