A GROUP of friends from Soham raised more than �100 by taking part in a charity run from Soham to Fordham.

The group of nine friends, who are all in Years 8 and 9 at Soham Village College, set out from Eastern Avenue in the town on Saturday morning and jogged their way into nearby Fordham.

The 3.4-mile run took the team, who were decked out in their brightest running gear, little more than an hour to complete.

All money raised from the event is being donated to the Children in Need appeal.
