A NEW Year charity run will take place at Somerley Estate in aid of a Christchurch-based charity.
The Autism Wessex 10k will be held at the private estate on Sunday January 4 at 11am.
Becky Chalk, community and events fundraiser said: “Please come and join us for a New Year run. “There are two distances through beautiful grounds, a 10K and a 2K fun run, so there is an opportunity for everyone to take part.
“These runs are very popular so we encourage people to book their place as soon as possible.”
Ros Miller is taking part in the Somerley 10K as a training run for the iconic Virgin Money London Marathon 2015.
She said: “I was so excited when I found out I got a place to run in the Virgin Money London Marathon. I never thought I’d run a marathon, I love a challenge and now I am 50 I thought if I don’t do it now, I never will.
“The other part of the challenge is raising money for Autism Wessex.
“I am busy making Christmas decorations which I will sell at fairs, I am organising a silent auction and there will be lots of cake baking.”
