THE TOUGHEST fitness fans in town got together for a 24-hour workout to raise more than £1,500 for St Rocco’s Hospice.

Staff at Marsh House Gym in Padgate organised the incredible challenge in which fitness classes ran from 5pm on Friday through to Saturday afternoon.

Kelly-Ann Clarkson, who planned the event, said 188 people took part and the youngest fundraisers were just eight years old.

She said: “It went brilliantly, it exceeded any expectations we had. We all had a little glass of Prosecco at the end to celebrate!”
