RIBBLE Valley resi­ dents came out in force to support a life saving run to raise funds for sufferers of Cystic


Fibrosis. A to ta l of 129 people


took part in the 10k race around the Ribble Valley resulting in an estimated fund-raising total of £3,000. Clitheroe residents


Aimie Hamer, of Re:fit Personal Training, and Gail Bailey, of Pure Health and Beauty, were inspired to organise the ru n by four-year-old Amelia Dickinson, who suffers from the condi­ tion. Amelia is Gail’s niece, while Aimie is a friend of


the family. Young Amelia started


the participants off, some of which were her friends and teachers from Barrow P rim ary School, from outside The Millstones at West Bradford. Ninety-eight runners


negotiated the 10k route around the Ribble Valley with the rest completing i t a t a slower pace and deciding to walk. John Bailey, Amelia’s grandfather, donated two


cups to be presented to the fa s te s t man and woman on the day. These were presented


to Gary Banks, who fin­ ished the race in 39 min­ utes and 18 seconds and Jessica Cunliffe, a local personal trainer, who made a time of 42 min­ utes and 23 seconds. Young George Banks,


the son of fas te s t man Gary Banks, also deserves a mention after complet­ ing the race in 45 minutes and 12 seconds. The presentation was


made a t the Dog Music and Sports Bar in Well- gate where a buffet was provided for all partici­ pants after the race. The event was so suc­


cessful th a t organisers have decided to hold it on an annual basis - next year named The Amelia Cup. Amelia’s parents,


Samantha and Symon Dickinson, of Whalley, commented: “We’d like to say a really big thank you to everyone turning out. “I t was really well sup­


ported by friends, family and local people.” They added: “Aimie


and Gail did a fantastic job in organising the event.” The couple hope the money raised will go some


way to funding research to find a cure for the con­ dition, which is the UK’s most common life-threat­ ening inherited disease. Any sponsor forms and


collected sponsorship money should be forward­ ed to Gail at Pure Health and Beauty or Aimie as soon as possible. Times and more photographs will be posted on www.re- fit.net Anyone wishing to reg­
