Suzie Colledge, community fundraising officer, Cancer Focus NI, said: “We are so excited to bring Focus Fit to Ballymena for the second time.

“Our previous Focus Fit group raised an incredible £8,500 and the participants were really pleased with their weight loss and improved fitness levels.

“Focus Fit is free to enter but we are asking you raise £300 in sponsorship for Cancer Focus NI. There will be an overall winner of the Focus Fit challenge based on class attendance, overall improvements in health and at the end, for the most money raised. All the money you raise will be spent on the services we provide in the local community.”

Anyone who would like to take part is asked to contact the fundraising team by emailing [email protected] or call 028 9066 3281.
