AMATEUR runners Kathy Davis, left, and Beccy Cardiff are getting ready for the race of their lives.

The Weymouth pair, who both work for Dorset County Council, will be running this year's London Marathon for charities of their choice.

Kathy has selected the Make A Wish Foundation as her cause while Beccy will be running for Get Kids Going.

They both have strict training plans and are clocking up the miles in preparation for the big day.
