A TEAM from the Express & Echo will be taking part in the Great West Run on Sunday.

Joining the Echo's Great West Run correspondent Hannah Hope, will be Sarah Elliott, Julia Bradshaw, Kelly Luff, Jon Perry, Gareth Williams, Jon Lewis and Bradley Gerrard.

This will be the first time education reporter Julia, 25, has taken part in the event: "I am looking forward to it as I enjoy running, but I've never done a distance like that before so it will be nerve-wracking."

Money raised by the team will go to Honeylands Children's Centre, a specialist development centre for children aged birth to age five with complex special needs. You can sponsor the team at the web page www.justgiving. co.uk/echogreatwestrun2009.
