It might be a weekend off between Grand Prix events for most people working in Formula 1 but not for Force India's sporting director Andy Stevenson (pictured on the right).

Along with the team's accounts guru Dean Walsh, Andy will be working harder then ever as he hits the streets of the UK capital on Sunday to tackle the famous London Marathon.

The pair will be appropriately dressed in the unmistakable Force India pink team colours as they raise money for Breast Cancer Care.

Andy is lucky to even be walking, let alone running. A horrific skiing accident four years ago left him with multiple fractures in his tibia. It required two risky surgical procedure and a lengthy rehab programme to get him back in one piece.

Andy says he's been training intensively for the event since November. The challenge is made even bigger for him as he also suffers from the energy-sapping Crohn's Disease. But they breed them strong in Formula 1 and he's up for today's task!

For Dean, today's event also has a particularly personal significance, as he lost his own mother to breast cancer 20 years ago.

You can back their efforts by visiting their JustGiving pages and pledging some money to Force India's official charity and support its mission to reach more people suffering from cancer, faster. The links are right here:
