Midsummer’s day saw 30 Radio Lollipop volunteers, family and friends take part in the Southampton Airport Charity Fun Run to raise funds for the charity. The event is organised by the British Airports Authority, who invite charities in the region to run the length of the runway twice – after the last plane of the day has landed – to raise much needed funds.

Luckily the strong wind that had been blowing early in evening stopped just before the starting horn was blown by former Southampton Football Club legend Matthew Le Tissier. The Radio Lollipop team’s red wigs were soon flying down the runway. Some of the team ran all the way and the 5km distance was little more than an evening stroll. For non-runners it was a real challenge.

Everyone completed the course successfully and as a result of their efforts managed to raise over £700 for Radio Lollipop
