'Overweight' woman conquers 156-mile Marathon Des Sables
An "overweight" woman gave up alcohol and cigarettes to conquer a gruelling desert endurance race in the Sahara Desert.
Mum-of-two Emma Burnett, from East Yorkshire, has completed the 250km (156 miles) Marathon de Sables in 40°C heat in Morocco.
She said losing two members of her family spurred her to not "want to waste my life being overweight... while drinking prosecco and smoking".
