Paul Harris says,

"It will be my first race since taking up the sport earlier this year and I am delighted to raise money for Action for Sick Children. During the race I will cover 9km/5.6m and climb 401m/1316ft; all this takes place in the hills surrounding Disley where I am a local Parish Councillor."
