A police community support officer is set to help raise funds for a north Norfolk first responders group by running the

London Marathon on Sunday.

Lucy Collyer, who lives near Coltishall, is hoping to raise more than �1000 to buy a defibrillator for the Stalham & Smallburgh Area First Responders.

She said: 'As a PCSO on foot patrol I have seen how fast these volunteers respond in a medical emergency, so I wanted to help them.'

This is the second time she has run in support of first responders, previously raising funds for the Wroxham group.

She is also a member of the North Norfolk Beach Runners, based in Cromer, and is aiming to beat her previous time of four hours and nine minutes.
