BRIDGWATER hairdresser Ken Baker has set himself a tough charity challenge this year.

Last year, having not previously run for 35 years, Ken was challenged by daughter to take on a 5k run.

With good training he managed to not only complete his task, but actually doubled his achievement running 10k and raising more than £2,000 for Cancer Research.

This year on Sunday, September 4 he will taking on a half marathon at Old Morgans, Chedzoy.

This time around his chosen charity is the British Heart Foundation and he is aiming to match his previous fundraising efforts.
