A SHOP assistant is hoping to raise £1,000 for a national children's charity when she runs her first London marathon.
Joanne Singleton, of Cockton Hill, Bishop Auckland, will take part in the 26-mile road race on Sunday, April 13, to raise money for Childline.
She is part of a 100-strong team of Marks and Spencer employees taking part in the event who have a sponsorship target of £100,000
