STAFF from the Royal Crescent Surgery in Weymouth have stepped forward to raise money for charity.

Wendy Bainbridge recently completed her 11th London Marathon, in five hours, in aid of the Weldmar Hospice Trust. Fundraisers include June Reed and Tina Carter, who are taking part in the Moonwalk in London on May 17. This will be June's third Moonwalk, and Tina's first. Leanne Birch and four colleagues will be taking part in the Race for Life in Poole on May 11.

Other members of staff are also running in the Kingston Maurward Race for Life on June 8 and the British 10K run on July 6 in aid of the women's refuge.

June Reed, from the surgery, said: "Whatever our roles within the practice we all come into contact with people suffering from cancer or at risk of domestic violence.

"This is our way of helping these people.

"A sum of £224.90 has already been raised within the surgery following a karaoke night and other various activities."
