A PHOTOGRAPHER has taken up a marathon challenge to raise money for a cancer charity and is appealing for people to take part tomorrow (Saturday).

Letchworth GC photographer Michelle Szpak is attempting to take pictures of 2012 people in 26 hours to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

The Great Big Portrait Marathon starts at midday and runs through to 2.38pm on Sunday at Michelle’s studio in Station Road, Letchworth GC, as part of a UK-wide fundraiser.

Michelle said: “We want everyone and anyone to come down to the studio, no matter what time, bring your family and friends.”

There will be a prize draw for participants with a chance to win an iPad.
