THE GOODWILL Fund's annual fun run saw its most successful year yet when 80 people took part in the 2.5km run around Southampton's Westwood Park.
Organisers hope the event, which was started five years ago as "a bit of fun", has raised more than £1,000 for Hampshire victims of fire. Much of the money will go to stock the Red Cross' fire victim support unit.
The run was opened by Southampton's Ian Walker, a stunt double for Oliver Reed in the Hollywood hit film Gladiator.
Alongside the fun run there was a 'fun stroll' of one kilometre. Firefighter Ryan Matthews took the honours in the fun run, with Vosper Thornycroft's Speedy Medium team winning the corporate section.
