A dedicated Wellington woman has spent two-and-a-half years picking up litter on her local beach during her daily jog.
Petone’s Michelle Stronach-Marsh says she "wants to make a positive contribution to my community".

"I'm getting really upset, increasingly angry," she told Seven Sharp.
Plastics and polystyrene are the main offenders cleaned up by Michelle.
