A HAMPSHIRE man will be walking the Bupa Great South Run this Sunday to promote awareness about diabetes and raise more than £500 in the process.

Graham Hastie, 46, a planning co-ordinator from Ringwood, who lost his mum to the disease, said: “I am walking the course because of issues resulting from a road accident I had 24 years ago. I’ve recently returned from a training camp in Corfu so now at weekends I can complete over eight miles.”
