A NORTH Yorkshire charity has asked runners and fundraisers to join in their local challenges to help vulnerable children.

Harrogate-based Action For Children has places available for the Jane Tomlinson 10k races in Hull, Leeds and York, on June 15 and 16, and July 31, and money will be raised for the charity through the entrance fee and sponsorship.

Funds can also be raised on the Three Peaks Challenge, on June 11, or with a sponsored abseil in Leeds on June 5.

For more information, including how to take part, phone Lisa Morton from Action For Children on 01423 726937 or email lisa.morton@actionforchildren.org.uk
