THE countdown is on to a fitness extravaganza which is hoping to make the wishes of 500 seriously ill children come true.

Pictured are Oonagh Partridge and Elaine Woodrow, of Sunflower Fitness, led by Sam Brabender, who have organised the event on Saturday, March 17, at Sir John Deane's College.

The three-hour exercise marathon will include a session of disco diva aerobics, circuit training and an abdominal strengthening session.

Participants will receive a free goody bag and discount vouchers as well as entry into a free raffle, with some great prizes up for grabs.

Goody bags will only be available to those who sign up in advance by ringing Sam on 01606 351339.

Tickets cost £10 and all proceeds will go to the Starlight Children's Foundation. NI/38/15
