Two staff members from Specsavers Opticians are training hard for the Guernsey Half Marathon in June.

Store director Sarah Burchett will be running to raise money for the Guernsey Chest and Heart and optician Rachael De Carteret is taking on the challenge for the Guernsey Blind Association.

Sarah says: "We're really looking forward to taking on the challenge and it's really helpful to have someone else in the store doing the marathon to keep me motivated when training gets tough. The Guernsey Chest and Heart does fantastic work in island in the fight against heart disease so I really hope I can raise a good amount of money to support its work."

Sarah and Rachael are collecting donations for both of the charities in the store in Market Street.
