PACKING bags at Tesco has helped a local woman raise £349 for sick children and their families.

Leanne Rice, who works at Heavenly Beauty Salon in Okehampton, is running the London Marathon for WellChild this April.

Leanne, along with friends and members of her family, packed bags for the day at Tesco Crediton recently.

On Saturday March 12, Leanne, Charlotte and Annabelle will be providing discounted treatments at Heavenly Beauty Salon, with all proceeds going to WellChild.
