A TEAM of festive fundraisers put their best foot forward to help a Dorset disability charity.

Louise Millard, Jenny Pearce and Lottie Thornton, from integrated marketing agency Marketing Matters, now part of the Emerge Group in Bournemouth, took part in the Santa Fun Run in aid of their client Diverse Abilities Plus.

The girls donned their Santa suits and ran around Badbury Rings, near Wimborne, with hundreds of other Santas raising money for other good causes, at the Wimborne Rotary Club event.

Participants were invited to run two, four or six miles. Jenny and Louise ran the obligatory two and Louise took on the full six.

PR account manager Jenny said: “We had a great time taking part in the Santa Fun Run and it was very funny to see lots of Santa’s running around Badbury Rings!

“It was also a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness and funds for our client Diverse Abilities Plus, and have a bit of festive fun before Christmas.”
