A Blackheath bank cashier is preparing to run Cancer Research's Race for Life alongside her mum, aunt and cousin.

Eighteen-year-old Stacey Aspland who works in Barclays Bank in the High Street is busy training for her first Race for Life which is taking place in Sandwell Valley Park on June 3.

Stacey, who is running in memory of her nan, is hoping to raise £300, which her employer Barclays has said it will match.

She said: "I am looking forward to running the race and my friends and family are all donating money to help me raise my target."
