A CHARITY Zumbathon is taking place at Wellington Academy on Saturday. Zumba education specialist Caroline Parsons and instructor Gina Fry are hosting a masterclass to raise money for Help for Heroes.

Heidi Jamrozy, 25, has organised the event ahead of a ten-day trek along the Great Wall of China. She wants to raise as much as she can to thank the charity for helping her brother, Daniel Richards, a former Lance Bombardier in the army.

He was medically discharged following a motorbike accident in 2009, which led to him having his right shoulder and arm amputated.

Tickets cost £9 and are available from zumbathonmasterclass.shoobs.com or by calling 07576 622779.

Doors open at 1.30pm for the masterclass at 2.30pm and tickets will be available on the door for £15 each.
