A SOUTHAMPTON-based charity which raises funds for research into asthma and allergic disease is appealing for runners to take part in a big race.

AAIR is looking for competitors to take part in the ASICS British 10K London run on July 12, which attracts people from all walks of life and of all abilities, from all over the world.

Olympic and world champions and celebrities run shoulder to shoulder with charity fun runners.

AAIR has just a few guaranteed places left. Sponsorship for this event is £80 plus a £12 registration fee.

E-mail emma@aaircharity.org for a registration form, call 023 8077 1234, or visit aaircharity.org.

AAIR supports pioneering research at the world-renowned research centre at Southampton General Hospital.
