London, May 5: England all-rounder Ben Stokes will on Tuesday run his first ever half marathon to raise funds for the Britain's National Health Services (NHS) Charities Together and national childrens cricket charity Chance to Shine amid COVID-19 crisis.

Speaking on his Instagram page, Stokes, while admitting that the furthest he had ever run was 8km, said "(A half marathon) is always been something that I've thought about doing a but never really got around to ever doing it. Obviously we've been in lockdown so I thought what a great opportunity to go out and if I'm going to do it I might as well try and raise some funds.
