NINETEEN-YEAR-OLD Chloe Nodwell is taking part in her first running race in memory of her grandad.
Chloe, pictured, who lives in Bournemouth is training for the Bournemouth Running Festival in October in aid of Prostate Cancer UK.
“I am running in memory of my granddad Tommy who sadly passed away in January,” she says. “He had prostate cancer for 15 years and never gave up.
“He always had a smile on his face and he is my hero and inspiration.”
Chloe has hired a personal trainer and is running several times a week. She adds: “I don't have a set time for the 10k, I will just be happy to complete it as it will be my first race.” To support Chloe, visit uk.virginmoneygiving.com/chloeruns10k
