A MUM and her seven-year-old son ran 100km during March to raise money for Chestnut Tree House children’s hospice.
Running is nothing new to Zach Collison and his mum Jennie, from Horsham. They are both keen runners, with Zach completing his first 5km run at the age of four, and his first 10km the following year.
They ran a total of 107km in the month and have raised £882 to date.
After deciding to take on a running challenge for charity, Zach and Jennie set about researching who they wanted to fundraise for, and decided on their local children’s hospice.
Mum Jennie Collison said: “I’m a keen runner and Zach is very sporty.
“He enjoys anything active – running, football, rugby, and we both love taking on a challenge.
“When we first started talking about running a long distance across a month, I suggested 75km but Zach wanted to do more, saying we should go for 100km.”
