Kat, from Cottam, has raised more than £5,300 for the charity following treatment for bowel cancer at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
The 40-year-old completed six running events over the past year, finishing the marathon alongside her sister Helen in just over five hours.
Kat said she took up running to support both her physical and mental health during treatment and recovery.
The money raised will help support cancer patients across Lancashire.
