The Beverley Lions will be hosting their ever popular Fun Run on New Year’s Day that gives people the choice of tackling three course ranging from 3Km to 10Km.

Not only is the run a perfect start to New Year but by running those taking part will also be doing a good turn as all the profits from the event will be donated to scheme to help Beverley purchase a Defibrillator.

Les Ford, president of the Beverley Lions speaking to HU17.net explained why the Lions are supporting the Towns quest to purchase a Defibrillator, he said;

“Volunteers who run Beverley Heartstart came to t see the Lions at the Tiger Inn to explain their project. We have made a donation to them already but want to do more to support their good work in the community.”

“The Lions is all about helping the local community and having a Defibrillator would be a major contribution to protecting the health and safe of the residents of Beverley.”

Although there is one Defibrillator already in place at ST Mary’s Church funds are still being raised as they look to have more placed in Swinemoor, The Cherry Tree Centre and at Beaver Park.
