Men and women in Portsmouth will be donning their gym clothing later this month in a bid to raise money for charity.

The Spirit Health Club, at the Holiday Inn on Pembroke Road, Portsmouth, is raising money for Whizz-Kidz by hosting a 100-mile challenge, local newspaper The News reports.

Teams of between two and four people will complete 100 miles by swimming, rowing, running and cycling over a period of two weeks, starting from September 27th.

Justin Andrews, operations manager at the health club, said: "We are confident this challenge will raise an impressive amount of money because of the dedication of our members and the fact it's for a great cause."

Whizz-Kidz provides disabled children with wheelchairs and other mobility equipment.

Earlier in the month, a 5km fun run was hosted by the Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire, with participants raising as much money as possible for charities in the area.
