Stamford woman Sarah Sketch is running the Cancer Research UK Run 56 Miles Challenge

By her own admission, Sarah Sketch is ‘not a natural runner’.

But this month she has pulled on her trainers every day to run a two-mile route to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

Sarah, who lives in Stamford and works at Waitrose in West Street, has set herself a target of raising £1,500 by running 56 miles in February.

“I’m quite overwhelmed by the support I’ve had,” said Sarah, who has received donations from friends and customers.

“The support I’ve had is inspiring me to keep going.”

Sarah has been joined on some of her runs by her sister, Clare Morley, and sister-in-law Lindsey Troth.

“I’ve never done anything like this in my life before,” Sarah added.

“I’m not a natural runner but people say they are proud of me.”
