Claire ran with her friend Carly, the pair completed the gruelling 26.2-mile race in 4 hours and 50 minutes while raising an incredible £5,905 for MacMillan Cancer Support.

Claire said: “Clarly’s dad passed away in June 2021 from cancer, and her mum is currently receiving cancer treatment. Unfortunately, we all know family or friends who have suffered or are suffering from cancer, so we decided to sign up for the London Marathon and fundraise for Macmillan.

“I would like to thank everyone who donated and supported us, it kept us going and helped us reach the finish line. We managed to raise over double our original fundraising goal!”
