A TEENAGER put in a marathon effort in a bid to raise money for Children in Need yesterday.
Hayley Turner, from Darlington, was aiming to raise hundreds of pounds by swimming ten miles at the town's Dolphin Centre. The marathon swim was due to take place last week, but a bad cold meant she had to delay it. Hayley, 18, who lives in the Mowden area of town, said: "I haven't swum that far before, but I hope to be able to do it and raise hundreds of pounds.
