Leamington paralegal Jessica McDonnell is training hard for the London Marathon by running three half-marathons over the next few months.

Jessica (24), who works in the wills & probate department at Leamington solicitors Blythe Liggins, said she had never run a marathon before but had taken part in half-marathons and the Wolf Run.

“This will be a big step up for me and I’ll be preparing by running half-marathons in Warwick, Coventry and Silverstone between now and the big race in London on April 24,” she said.

Jessica, who will be running with her brother Jonny to raise money for Whizz Kids – which provides wheelchairs and other mobility equipment for disabled children – can be sponsored at http://www.virginmoneygiving.com/JessicaMcDonnell
