Why Amanda and her family and friends will be taking part ...
My husband Barney experienced some heart attack symptoms, but he didn't tell anyone. I believe if he had gone to get checked out I wouldn't be sitting here as a widow today.
I took part in the Red Dress Fun Run 2022 & 2023 along with lots of my family members and friends to help raise vital funds for the charity's work as well as raising awareness of heart health amongst the local community.
Our entire family now have the running bug thanks to the Red Dress Fun Run and personally I found it a great motivator to keep fit and healthy, mentally as well as physically.

Let's all have a good laugh while we raise cash for our good cause. Dress up as your favourite red character, top off your attire with a wacky red wig or clown around with a red nose. Everyone is welcome to come along and join in the fun - even the family pooch!
