Milton woman, Stephanie Powlitch, 27, of Faulkner Close will be running her first (and last!) marathon on 13th April, when she takes on the gruelling 26.2 miles of the London Marathon.

Stephanie, a trainee psychologist, is hoping to use the marathon to raise £1600 for ‘Mencap’, a leading charity set up to help people with a learning disability gain equal access to opportunities such as education, work and community involvement.

If you would like to sponsor Stephanie to run the marathon, she would be delighted to receive a donation. You can sponsor her online at www.justgiving.com/stephaniepowlitch or alternatively contact her on 07766 054804 if you would like to donate a cheque or cash.
