Tom Franklin, a 23-year old account manager from Adderbury-based event agency Corporate Innovations, will be offering kisses on Valentine’s Day in a quest to raise money for BLISS, the charity caring for premature babies and their families.

Good-looking Tom, who is single and also happens to be looking for that special someone, has been training for the marathon for over six months and so far has raised over £900.

Tom said: ‘’My target is to raise £2500 in total so I am offering my kisses on Valentines Day for £1 each, or you can pay £2 not to be kissed. You never know I might also find my future wife!’

David Watt, Managing Director of Corporate Innovations, said: ‘Unlike some of the girls here at Corporate Innovations, I paid Tom £2 not to be kissed. We are all very proud of him and we will support him right to the finish line. I have challenged all the CI staff to run for Sport Relief too in order fo help him reach his target ’
