Hope Valley runner pledges support to charity
Kristine Leaper, 34, will be running in the 2015 Virgin Money London Marathon in aid of St John Ambulance, and hopes anyone who won a place in the ballot, without choosing a cause to support, will now join her in fundraising for charity.
She said: “I’ve chosen to run in aid of St John Ambulance because I have been running for a number of years and now feel ready for the challenge of a full marathon – and what better challenge than the London Marathon.

“I can’t think of a better charity to fundraise for at the marathon because without the St John Ambulance first aiders lining the route.”
