Cara Fresher, who works at G’s Fresh, Ely and Daisy Rowell joined 17,000 others to walk a full marathon - 26.2 miles - in London overnight on September 24.

Starting off at Southwark Park, the pair powered through their mammoth walk, eventually reaching the finish line at Old Billingsgate Market in just under 11 hours.

Cara said: “It’s a charity that’s close to my heart, and this seemed like a great challenge to take on.
