BRIERLEY Hill based ambulance worker Walter Seaton will be joining forces with some of his colleagues to compete in this weekend's Bupa Great Birmingham Run.

Walter will form part of an eight-strong team of ambulance staff who work out of both Willenhall and Dudley Ambulance Hubs.

They will be accompanied by eight family members or friends while attempting to raise funds for their fellow NHS workers at Birmingham Children's Hospital.

Each of the runners taking part will try to raise £100 of their own but hope to boost the overall total by encouraging supporters to make donations.
