Lindsey Chadwick, of Thoroughgood Road, Clacton, is busy putting in the miles on the treadmill in training for the world-famous event in April.
Mrs Chadwick will be running to raise money for Unique, a charity which supports families with children with rare chromosome disorders.
Her two-year-old daughter Lucy has a condition called 2q 24 deletion, which means her head, arms and legs are not growing properly.
