A 'MOVEMBER' fitness event in Bude raised more than £1,000 for charity.

Lisa Wood, a fitness instructor from Bude, organised the fitness event to raise money for Bude and Stratton Cancer Research UK for male cancer as part of 'Movember'.

The session was held at Budehaven School on Friday, November 14.

Three fitness instructors each held a 30-minute session — Lisa's session was Zumba, Sarah Curtis from Holsworthy held a Bokwa session and Rosie Lewis from the Yoga Studio in Bude held an '80s-style aerobics and yoga session.

The dress code was '80s fitness gear and the event was open to men and women.

Absolute Desserts, Bude, donated 150 Movember cupcakes and businesses in the area donated raffle prizes.

The event raised £668 and the TSB Bank in Bude donated £500, bringing the total to £1,168.

Lisa said: "I would like to thank everyone who took part to make this such a fantastic fun event."
