A FORMER Teignmouth woman ran a marathon in memory of her friend who died aged 37 of lung cancer.

Angela Dawson was diagnosed with a non-smoking strain of the disease in January, 2010, and died in November last year.

Faye Hudson, who lives in Aylesbury and went to school in Teignmouth, where her family still live, decided to take part in the Brighton Marathon, to raise money for the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation. So far she has collected £1,500.
