Jenny Pritchard, 42, has set herself the task after her mother, Gill Robertson, who lived in Littleham, Exmouth, died last April, aged 68, following a stroke. Jenny will be taking on the Southampton Marathon in aid of the Stroke Association.
She said: “I am nervous, but I am looking forward to running the marathon. It is not as bad as I thought it would be. I have done a lot of half marathons, but never a full one. I would not be doing this if I wasn’t raising money for Stroke Association. Before Mum had a stroke, she was a healthy 68-year-old. It was extremely sudden.”
Gill used to volunteer at Withycombe Raleigh Playgroup and Marpool Primary School.
