A family-friendly fundraising 'marathon' is taking place at Boscawen Park this Sunday in aid of the West Briton backed charity Ella's Memory.

Fire officers will run a barbecue as well as taking a fire engine to the event, which kicks off at 10.30am and will feature a children's entertainer.

Anyone taking part is invited to complete one circuit of the park to reach the 26-mile target.

Anyone wishing to donate can go to the computer web link: www.justgiving.com/ellas-memory200kmchallenge, or visit their the website www.ellasmemory.org.uk.
