THERE were no villains, just heroes on the streets of Sheppey as the sun shone on more than 700 people at one of the Island’s biggest fund-raising events.
The heroes and villains themed Paul Trigwell Island Run took place on Sunday to raise money for the Paul Trigwell Memorial Fund.
This year was the third annual run to raise money for the fund, which was set up in memory of Mr Trigwell, the head of St George’s Middle School, who died suddenly in 2006.
The fund is for under-privileged children who live and go to school on the Island.
About 720 runners took part in three different runs – the two-mile fun run from The Beach Hotel in Minster, finishing in Beach Street, Sheerness, the 10-mile run from Leysdown, also finishing in Beach Street, and for the first time, one team took part in a 10-mile relay race.
