Primary school pupil Bethan Helps joined thousands of charity runners on Epsom Downs to take part in the Epsom Race for Life – the second part of Bethan’s charity challenge.

Bethan, who goes to the Meadow School, Epsom, completed the first part of her challenge, a swimathon, earlier this year.

The third and final part of her challenge will be the Brighton Race for Life, which she is entering with her mother Dawn.

After the Epsom race Bethan said: “It was very hot and there were a lot of tall people in the race but I enjoyed it and had a lot of fun.”
