Scarborough Woman Trains for London Marathon with Double Buggy

A Scarborough woman who has had four children in three years is running the London Marathon this weekend to raise money a charity that helped her during her pregnancies.

Amy Edwards has been training on Scarborough seafront with her youngest twins in a double buggy.

She says she wants to give something back to the people who helped her and her family.

Amy has been training for the marathon by running along the seafront and taking part in the park run event at North Yorkshire Water Park with a double buggy, she says the training has been a challenge.

Baby Lifeline is a national charity which supports frontline NHS staff to prevent injuries and deaths in and around childbirth. It does this by supporting and working with NHS professionals at the heart of care – buying equipment, developing and providing critical training, and conducting research.
