Katie Price has vowed to complete the marathon in honour of terminally ill mother Amy, even if she “has to crawl.”

The former glamour model is set to complete the London Marathon to raise money for the British Lung Foundation in an ode to her mother’s battle with lung condition Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF).

She told the Daily Mirror: “If I collapse, I better f****** get up again.

“But even if I end up having to crawl, I will get over that line. Whatever has gone on in my life this year, I’ll put that aside on the day.

“I’m just looking forward to seeing my mum’s face when I’m at the finishing line. I need to see her face at the end to know I did it for her. And knowing that she’ll be proud.”

Speaking about her mother’s terminal illness which was diagnosed last year she added: “Of course it will be a nightmare, but who cares?

“Sure, my knees are going to be in pain, but what about my mum?

“She can’t breathe. I’m still alive. I’m lucky to be alive, but my mum’s not that lucky as she’s got a terminal disease.”

The news comes after Price revealed her terminally ill mother Amy Price is “struggling”, revealing “she hasn’t got long” to live.

Price told how even a simple cold could cause Amy to die “within a month.”

Speaking to Now Magazine, she explained: “My mum is dying, it’s that simple. They normally diagnose is three to five years but Mum has already had to change her life.

“She’s sold her house because of the stairs. She really struggles with them. But she could get a cold now not get rid of it, and die within month – that’s how bad it is... Either way, she hasn’t got long.”
