Sam Pyne, 11, is running from Sidmouth seafront to Otterton School on Wednesday morning (8am) to raise money for Living with Cancer.
It is a Sidmouth charity that helps local folk and families in all sorts of ways whose lives are affected by cancer.
Sam wanted to do this in memory of his friend Josh Roberts’ dad Jason, who sadly died recently. Josh and Sam both play football for Sidmouth FC U11s.
