Zoe Morrall from Portsmouth is running Race to the King to raise money for Wessex Heartbeat, which provides support for babies, children, adults and their families treated at the Wessex Cardiac Centre at Southampton General Hospital.

The 29-year-old said: ‘My dad recently had heart surgery and was home within a week and if he can recover from heart surgery and think about his next races, I can definitely push through and challenge myself to do Race to the King.’
