AS WELL as celebrating 25 years of Riverside Runners, the race will raise money for The Hunts Post’s New Life Appeal and Dreamdrops.
The charities raise money to buy equipment for the children’s and special care baby units at Hinchingbrooke Hospital, Huntingdon.
The cause was suggested by Liz Hiner, whose son Maxwell was born at 26 weeks in 2001 and received SCBU care for the first three months of his life.
Runners will be encouraged to run in aid of the New Life Appeal and Dreamdrops.
Since The Hunts Post launched the New Life Appeal in 2007, nearly �40,000 has been raised for equipment at the hospital.
Editor Andy Veale said: “We are delighted to be involved in this community event for the whole of Huntingdonshire.
