Katrina Festorazzi from Gillingham will be among the thousands of runners taking part in the London Marathon this Sunday.

But the 34-year-old should be easy to spot among the crowds - she will be wearing a Wonder Woman outfit.

Katrina decided to take part in the 26.2-mile race dressed as the superhero after earning herself the nickname for always being on the go.

Katrina is raising money for Age UK. She popped into the charity's centre in Woodlands Road, Gillingham, to spend time with the people she is raising money for and join in with a game of bingo.

She said: "No matter what your background or ethnicity, male or female, we all have one thing in common - we are getting older and the services need funding."

She added: "Age UK is a wonderful charity."

It will be Katrina's second marathon and she is determined to improve on her first effort when an injury caused her to slow down and miss her target time.

Katrina has been training five days a week since Christmas but said she is being careful after she pushed herself too hard last time, causing the knee injury.

She said: "I decided to do it again because I love the challenge and even though I managed to complete it with my injury, I wanted to do it in under four hours. I know I can do it and I can do it better and I want to raise as much money as I can for charity."

This year Katrina, of Carrington Close, has set herself the target of three hours, 48 minutes. She is hoping to raise £1,700.

Katrina is just one of several people from Medway joining Sunday's race.
