AEROBICS exercise fans from Hampshire are urged to step forward to take part in a marathon fitness event in aid of a children’s diabetes charity.

Mums Kirsty Edwards and Wesley Ranger have teamed up to stage a body combat aerobic class in aid of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, which funds research into treating and curing type 1 diabetes.

Both their boys, Max and Ethan, were diagnosed with the condition which affects only 200 children in Southampton.

Instructors will be putting people through their paces from 10am to 1pm at the Chamberlayne Leisure Centre in Weston Lane on November 22.

Places for the event cost £10 each.
