FITNESS and fund-raising came together on Sunday as a group of 25 women undertook a three-hour sponsored aerobics session in aid of the baby unit at the Alexandra Hospital.

The group, which is taught by Mandy Garratt and Diane Barlow at the Arrow Vale Sports Centre, has been doing similar fund-raising events for six years, mostly for the hospital.

And they always manage to raise more than £1,000.

Anyone who would like to join the aerobics classes, which take place every evening from Monday to Thursday, can call the centre on 500010.
