An inquest is to be held today into a young woman who died while running the London Marathon.
Claire Squires collapsed a mile from the finish line in the 26.2 mile event on April 22 last year.
The 30-year-old hairdresser from North Kilworth, Leicestershire, aimed to raise £500 for Samaritans but the total jumped to more than £1 million following a public outpouring of support in the aftermath of her death.
She was one of 80 people running in support of the charity and had been a keen fundraiser for Samaritans in support of her mother, Cilla, who has been a volunteer with the organisation for the past 24 years.
The charity has since worked with Miss Squires' mother to develop The Claire Squires Fund - a programme of projects that reflect how she would have wanted the money to be used.
The inquest will be held at Southwark Coroner's Court in London.
