Keen runner, Suzie Trew Foster, 40, of Heath Green, completed her sixth London Marathon on April 23, finishing in four hours and 31 minutes.

DHG supported fellow mum, Anne-Marie Turner, 36, who lives near Heath Road, Leighton Buzzard, when her daughter Ella, now five, who has Down’s Syndrome, was born with a heart condition.

Suzie said: “It was tough going. I think the legs are a bit tired, but I’m beginning to get used to marathons!

“I’ve raised over £700 for Down’s Heart Group and there’s still time to donate. Unfortunately, Ella was poorly on the day, but she has my vest to keep!”

Anne-Marie said: “We’re so blessed to have such a lovely friend - Suzie is incredible! We used the marathon app to track her.”

Suzie has also completed the London Moonwalk and ‘London 2 Brighton’ walk for breast cancer and plans to do ones in Edinburgh and Iceland.
