FUNDRAISER Emma-Louise Harding, a personal assistant from Chiswick, has announced she will be joining the Children with Leukaemia Mr Men and Little Miss team at this year's upcoming Flora London Marathon.

On April 18, Emma-Louise will join over 1,000 children with Leukamia runners including twice Oscar nominated actress Brenda Blethyn, a keen supporter of the charity, and six Mr Men and Little Miss characters to make up one of the biggest teams at this year's event.

The team hopes to raise in excess of one million pounds for the charity.

The charity is dedicated exclusively to the conquest of childhood leukaemia through pioneering research, new treatment and support of leukaemic children and their families.
