A charity jog has raised more than £9,000 and is on track to beat its target of £12,000.

The British Heart Foundation's (BHF) Bradford City Jog held in October raised thousands for the work of the nation's heart charity in the region - and money is still coming in.

A third of entrants have not returned their sponsorship money and BHF is urging everyone to send in their cash.

Helen Whiteley, regional events organiser, said this had been the first year of the charity event and it had been well supported.

She said: "We have already had a good response but there is a lot more sponsorship still out there and we are urging people who haven't already done so, to send us their sponsor money as soon as possible."

The BHF funds heart equipment, research and care projects and across the region including a new cardiac ultrasound machine at St Luke's Hospital.

Sponsor money should be sent to the BHF, PO Box 69, Wetherby Road, Tadcaster, LS24 0AE.
