Sami runs the London Marathon - 'The Comet' 27th March 2008

Sami Colvin, licensee of La Concha wine bar in Station Place, Letchworth GC, is hoping to raise more than £3,000 for Everyman - a charity which funds research into prostate and testicular cancer.

The 34-year-old said it has always been her goal to run the marathon and she jumped at the chance to support Everyman because her uncle had had prostate cancer.

She said: "Although the training is very hard, knowing I am helping such a worthwhile cause has given me such strength and determination."

She added: "The training is going really well. I have actually surprised myself." Sami's training includes running three to five miles three times a week, as well as longer runs every weekend.

She said: "I don't have a time I want to complete the course in. My target is just to complete it successfully!"
