The Daily Telegraph Marathon Team 2007 – 42 generous members of the public who have volunteered to run the 26.2 miles of the Flora London Marathon on April 22 for the Brain and Spine Foundation.

Ade Adepitan's efforts as a competing captain this year were secured after he revealed that, having retired from Paralympic sport, his intention was always to take part in the marathon. He did not hesitate when asked to follow in the footsteps of previous team captains Michael Watson, Kirsty Gallagher, Andrew Castle, Gaby Logan and Des Lynam.

Veteran boxing promoter Frank Warren took up the role of non-competing captain. "It was a great honour to be asked, and it is a great cause," he said. "I have been involved with boxers who have suffered brain injuries and was, like most people, very moved by Michael Watson completing the marathon for the charity in 2003." Indeed, Warren was one of those who gave up a day to walk with Watson on his six-day odyssey.

Since 1999, successive Telegraph/BSF teams have raised more than £800,000 for the charity.  You can help by helping us to reach the £1m mark for the 2007 London Marathon.

Every member of the team has deep personal reasons for running.  Collectively form a group affected by human frailty, yet galvanised into action and determined to raise money for the BSF to fund research and a much-needed phoneline with a neurological specialist on call 24-hours a week.
