Martin King, The Independent's Online Editor, has been working on Internet sites for about 14 years. Which is why he needed to get off his backside. Other people take screen breaks, he just entered the London Marathon. And he's doing it all for Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, where his daughter is a nurse in Neonatal Intensive Care.
