AN estate agent has spoken of her pride at raising more than £1,500 for charity by running the London Marathon.

Tracy Stringer, who works for Churchill Estates in Buckhurst Hill, finished the run in five hours and raised the money for the Lauren Page Trust, which funds the work of doctors who care for women suffering from health problems during pregnancy.

She said: “It was very hard, but very rewarding to know that I was raising money for such a worthy cause.

“This was my first marathon. I wanted to run the marathon to give something back.”
