HUDDERSFIELD people are being invited to help circle the globe to raise money for visually impaired children.

One mile courses are being laid out across the UK on September 15 as part of a challenge to travel a total of 24,902 miles, the equivalent of the earth’s circumference.

The event – Around The World In A Day – is being held on Hilton hotel premises. The nearest is at the Neville Street Hilton in Leeds city centre.

Cash will go to Action For The Blind’s Actionnaires clubs, including Huddersfield.

People are being asked to take part by walking or on treadmills, rowing machines or exercise bikes.
