A runner from a Silsden-based company is taking on the London Marathon for charity.
Hannah Peacock, 29, who works for conveyor belt manufacturer Habasit Rossi, said that running the 26-mile event on April 13 would be a big challenge.
Miss Peacock obtained a place in the over-subscribed race through her running club, but she still wants to raise at least £500 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
The human resource adviser, who is running the race for the second time, said: "As a keen runner I am looking forward to completing the marathon - it is an excellent personal challenge and the fact that I am able to help raise money for a charity at the same time makes the experience extremely satisfying."
Habasit Rossi has offered to sponsor Miss Peacock and the company is raising extra cash by holding a sweepstake on her finising time.
Miss Peacock said: "I really just want to finish - I might manage five hours, I think that's realistic. I'm sure we will get a range of times between two hours and two days!"
Richard Smith, managing director of Habasit Rossi, said: "It is fantastic that Hannah is participating in this gruelling test of fitness for such a worthwhile cause.
"The team at Habasit is supporting her 100 per cent and we wish her every success in completing the race."
