Breage mum takes on marathon challenge

An inspirational mum has vowed to run a marathon in aid of a local school despite being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

Gemma Langford from Breage will take on the gruelling Eden Project Marathon this Sunday and aims to raise £1,000 towards a new building at Breage Bright Sparks Pre-School.

She said: "Just six months after giving birth to my eldest son I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. With the determination to fight, the love for my children and the passion to help improve their future I will be running the marathon to help raise funds towards this community project."
