TWO Kidderminster women who raised £2,000 for Kemp Hospice by running last year's New York Marathon are staging a further fundraising effort.

Glenys Aston and Jan Boddice, both 51, will be putting people through their paces at Kemp Hospice's shop in Load Street, Bewdley, at 10am on Saturday using sports equipment including a step machine.

They are seeking sponsorship for this year's London Marathon and will also be putting in regular appearances at the Black Boy across the bridge throughout the day.

The duo are planning to donate the money they raise to Kemp - as they did last year when they ran in the Big Apple to mark their 50th birthdays.

Kemp provides nursing and care for people with life-threatening illnesses and help for their families.
