Clare Slattery will be taking on the 26 miles challenge to raise money for both Dementia UK and Prostate Cancer UK.

Mrs Slattery, who has worked at Co-operative Travel in Thetford for nine years, has been training three times a week to be in peak fitness for the event.

She gained a place in the famous event through the athletic club’s ballot.

Accomplished at half marathons, this will be Mrs Slattery’s first time running a full marathon.

She said she is looking forward to the event and raising money for two charities close to her heart.

She said: “This is a huge challenge for me, I have never run over 14 miles in distance and would really like to give London a go and tick it off my bucket list.”
