The family and friends of Claire Squires, who died during this year's London Marathon, are aiming to launch a charity called the Squires Effect.

Claire's death sparked a rush of generosity - with more than 45,000 people pledging money to her JustGiving charity website.

£1 million was raised in her name. The 'Squires Effect' name reflects the impact the 30-year-old hairdresser from near Market Harborough had on the public.
