Runner swaps London sites for Leamington and Warwick landmarks to complete fundraising challenge she was going to take part in before Coronavirus lockdown

Making good use of her daily exercise time Becky, who is the GoodGym Trainer for the area and works for Kids Run Free, instead ran the distance of the London Landmarks Half Marathon and had photos taken of her by her husband Iain at the sites in Leamington and Warwick which reminded her of the places she was supposed to run past in the capital city and adding captions of them.

This included captioning the clock in Jephson Gardens as Big Ben, Leamington Town Hall as Tate Britain, St John's Museum and St Mary's church in Warwick as Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey respectively.

Becky is raising money for Cancer Research UK, a cause she has supported for several years after her closest friend Anna Wakefield, who lives in Norwich, was treated for stage 4 cervical cancer and lung metastasis.

Becky said: "I ran my first marathon dressed as a unicorn to raise money for the hospital where my Anna was being treated for stage 4 cancer.

"I felt useless and unable to do anything else.

"Due to research and new drugs as well as Anna's incredible strength she is now been clear of cancer for years.

"When she sent me a message asking me to run the landmarks half with her I booked up within seconds.

"As we couldn’t run the race together we both signed for the Local Landmarks challenge.

"I wanted to make her smile as I wasn’t there in person so I made up a route around Leamington and Warwick and used landmarks that represented the ones we missed in London and made a storybook out of them all.

"I was lucky enough to run Anna's first 5k with her, and to see her journey to health and now fitness has been inspiring.

"Donate to my page today and help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured."
