Louise Wright was 29 when she was hit by a lorry in 2014 in Nottingham as she cycled to work.
A woman is bracing for the "toughest" challenge in memory of her friend who was killed while riding her bike.
Coleen Coxon, Ms Wright's friend, says she is due to complete two marathons in two days in the Sahara desert next month.Ms Wright was crossing the junction of Lower Parliament Street and Pennyfoot Street on her bike when a lorry driver turned left without indicating, dragging her under the wheels. "I think it's important to raise awareness of what happened to Louise because it was one careless accident which could have been avoided and I want other people not to have to suffer in the same way," she said.So far, Ms Coxon has Nordic walked a marathon, completed four ultra challenges and aims to complete a total of 242 miles by the end of the year.
