Goole schoolteacher Rebecca Buckingham is running in the Sheffield Half Marathon to raise money for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n
The lady has regularly been going on six-mile jogs in an effort to get in shape ahead of the big race – which takes place on May 27th – the Selby Times reports.<\/p>\n
Ms Buckingham observed she had never ran before and since she started her training regime she has shifted four-and-a-half stone.<\/p>\n
"I have got a lot of family who have been in the armed forces … so it is nice to raise some money for such a worthwhile cause," she added.<\/p>\n
The tutor is also taking Zumba classes and using a cross trainer in an effort to increase her fitness ahead of the challenge.<\/p>\n
Completing charity runs is one of the most common ways of collecting money for Help for Heroes, which has given out nearly £100 million in grants since October 2007.<\/p>\n
