TWO energetic mums are taking on mammoth challenges in aid of their favourite charities. Sue Stone, pictured left, from Eling, will be taking part in the 100km Run Mexico Challenge, running 16 miles a day in the high temperatures of Latin America. Her running buddy with the Hardley Runners, Chris Harris, right, from Hythe, is tackling a London to Paris cycle ride covering 300 miles in four days.

Sue, 48, is supporting the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association and Chris, 57, a clinical nurse specialist at Southampton General Hospital, is cycling in aid of the Haemophilia Society.

To sponsor them, visit justgiving.com suestonemnd or justgiving.com/chrisharris2.

Chris and Sue are also holding a barn dance at the West Totton Community Centre on Saturday from 7.30pm to boost their fundraising. Tickets, priced £15 including supper, are available from Sue on 023 8086 7659 or Chris on 023 8084 4339.

For what they would have raised offset against the cost of travelling to Mexico it would have been cheaper (and better for the environment) for them to have given what they would have spent on air fares and accommodation to the charity and stayed at home instead.
