Organiser Simon Newell and MC John Heard meet Joanne Malin at Arden School
 

Knowle and Dorridge Lions are pleased to reveal their guest celebrity for this years Knowle Fun Run will be Joanne Malin, well known host of the BBC Radio WM's morning show.

“I’m delighted to be invited to set the runners off for Mini Runs and the 5 mile Fun Run and award the prizes again this year”, said Joanne when she visited Arden school last week. “It’s great following in the footsteps of other celebrities including my colleague at Radio WM, Phil Upton. With your help the Lions Club have raised so much in the past for so many different charities, it’s important to keep up that impetus and what better way than through fitness and fun. Having said that, I shall be sticking to the fun part and leaving the running to you. See you on 15th May!”

"Joanne has been a great supporter of the Knowle Fun Run having been our celebrity guest 7 years ago and it's a pleasure to welcome her back in 2011”, said Fun Run organiser Simon Newell. "In these cash strapped times it is heartening to see the local community once again pulling together to raise money for charities. We had no trouble attracting 2,000 runners in 2010 and raised over £40,000. This year entries are running ahead of 2010 so don't delay and enter quickly via www.www.knowlefunrun.org.uk.
