The head of the Armenian Church is set to pound the streets of London in a sponsored run for Christians who suffer persecution around the world.
Bishop Hovakim Manukyan – Primate of the Armenian Apostolic Church in the United Kingdom and Ireland – is hoping to raise £5,000 when he takes part in the Battersea Park Half Marathon on 14th November.
Speaking to Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) – the charity he is raising funds for – Bishop Hovakim said his preparation for the 21 km (13.1 miles) course is off to a running start.
