Where’s Wally fancy dress
Yesterday 1,200 runners dressed in “Where’s Wally” fancy dress costumes and run a 10km course in Victoria Park to raise money for the National Literacy Trust.
A total of £67,000 was raised for the Trust who work to improve the reading, writing, speaking and listening skills in the UK’s most disadvantaged communities.
The family event was backed by Olympic champion Sally Gunnel OBE. She said: “As a mother of three I believe the most important thing a family can do is spend time together. Sharing books and exercising together are both great ways to do this, and that is why I am supporting the National Literacy Trust’s Where’s Wally? fun run.”
