THIS year’s Santa Fun Run for Farleigh Hospice is set for Chelmsford’s Central Park next month, and one woman will be running in memory of her grandad.

Alice Herterich, 23, from South Woodham Ferrers, will be taking part to help raise money for the hospice, which helped to look after her grandad Derek Dove-Dixon before he died in 2011.

She said: “The hospice is such an important part of our community and we should all be aware of the amazing work it does supporting local people like my grandad and families like mine.”

The run takes place on Sunday, December 7.
