Colette Fuller said: “We are really excited for the event but we might regret it making this decision at 4am. We hope to get a good turn out, we have invited friends, family and anyone that wants to pop in and give us their support.

“We will need all the support possible, as it will be a really tough challenge especially in the heat. Getting a good turn out and boosting our fundraising will make all the difference.
