A personal trainer from Leighton is hosting a special charity event in the run up to her marathon next year and is looking for more people to attend.
Minniina Kansanen, 29, of Plantation Road, has earned a place in the Virgin London Marathon 2013 and has teamed up with Etta, a local Leighton consultant for The Pampered Chef, to hold a fundraising evening on Thursday for Children With Cancer UK.
“I am honoured to be part of their running team and think we can all make a big difference together. My fundraising target is £2000 and I will be organising more fundraising events next year as well.
“Instead of me getting rewards for the purchases The Pampered Chef will donate 15% of sales towards my fundraising target for Children with Cancer UK.
“All my friends always laugh at me as I must be the only personal trainer addicted to baking.”
Tickets for Thursday will be £2 each and includes a cup of tea and some nibbles.
The Pampered Chef party will have cooking/baking demonstrations as well as cakes to buy and starts at 7.30pm at St. Leonards Church hall, Leighton Buzzard.
