Jenny Robinson, manager of the Marks & Spencer outlet on the Crown Point Retail Park, in Leeds, and her staff will each cycle 10k on an exercise bike in the store.
Customers visiting the store will be asked if they would like to make a donation towards the appeal and if they would like to, can cycle themselves.
Up to 11,000 runners will join together in Leeds city centre on Sunday for the 2009 Jane Tomlinson's Leeds 10K.
