EAST RIDING: A woman from Willerby is preparing to run the London Marathon to raise money for the hospital where she underwent major hip surgery as a child.
Marie Walker, 30, had surgery on her hip at the Children's Hospital in Sheffield at the age of 13, after being diagnosed with congenital hip dysplasia, an abnormal formation of the hip joint.
The surgery involved remodelling the shape of Marie's hip joint.
She now wants to raise funds for the Children's Hospital Charity to show her appreciation for the care she received.
The marathon will take place on Sunday and Marie hopes to raise �500.
