Maggie Throup, Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Erewash took part in Saturday’s 5K Fun Run in Long Eaton’s West Park, raising money for the Canaan Trust to add to her donations made for sleeping out for the same charity.
Ms Throup said: “Despite walking many miles delivering leaflets and canvassing, I’d never run the distance of five kilometres before. I was determined to make it round without walking at all, which I did.
“I’d like to thank everyone who helped me raise money for the Canaan Trust, such a worthy local charity.”
