Healthcare Assistant at Peterborough City Hospital, Sarah Edwards, ran alongside her husband Kev at the London Marathon 2024.

In 12 months, Sarah has gone from no running to completing a 26.2 mile run. 

Not only has she faced a marathon, she's also raised around £2,000 for Revitalise, a charity that provides holidays and getaways for disabled people and their families/carers.

Sarah said: "I can’t believe I did it and with smiles on our faces the whole way around, it was amazing."

Helen Gregory is a Consultant Radiographer at Peterborough City Hospital who took part in the London Marathon.

Helen previously completed a beginner's running course in 2019 and has now fulfilled a "life-long ambition".

She said that all the tough moments in the marathon were forgotten as she ran past Buckingham Palace and down The Mall.

She's raised over £1,500 for Macmillan Cancer Support - but she isn't finished there. Helen has now set a goal of running a half marathon every month during 2024.
