Volunteers will give charity a run for its money

Nine volunteers are in training for a five-kilometre run in aid of Islington-based children’s charity Chance UK.
They will take part in the Lucozade Hydro Active Women’s Challenge in Hyde Park on Sunday, September 16.
Runner Dr Rosie Campbell, a former Chance UK volunteer, said: “It’s great to be able to support a charity that does such great work for children.”
For Donna Prince, it will be her fourth Challenge. She said: “I am passionate about changing young lives in the community, which is why I volunteered as a mentor for Chance UK. I am delighted to be able to combine my enjoyment of running this race with the chance to raise some money for Chance UK.”
Personal trainer Lewis Clark took the runners on a training session.
He said: “I got involved with the charity as I had noticed there were young kids messing around and getting into trouble in my community because they didn’t have enough to do.”
