Mother-of-two Carol Clent has decided to work out to raise money for cancer research.

Carol, of Deer Walk, Greater Leys, Oxford, has organised the exercise class to be held at the Blackbird Leys Leisure Centre on Saturday, October 7.

The event will form part of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund's breast cancer awareness month in October.

Carol started fundraising for the charity following the death of her aunt from breast cancer three years ago and in reaction to her nine-year-old cousin's long fight against leukaemia.

She said: "I'm hoping to get about 100 people to come to the aerobics session the more the merrier. We've been allowed free use of the main sports hall and there'll be an aerobics instructor and music for an hour between 10am and 11am."

Pink charity bows will be on sale at the door for 1 and people can make further donations if they wish. The event is for over-18s only.

On Sunday, October 8, Carol will also be taking part in the sponsored three-mile Walk for Hope in the University Parks.
