A LOCAL couple will be doing their bit for Cancer Research UK on the Sunday (October 24) by running their first 10k race together.

Mark and Merwyn Davis, who own and run Crunch Fitness and Martial Arts Centre in Launceston, each participate in their own sports.

Mark is currently training for the UK finals of bodybuilding in November after doing well in the NABBA West Britain Bodybuilding in April this year and Merwyn has competed in many tournaments for Taekwon-do both nationally and internationally and completed six Race for Life events this year!

Both Mark and Merwyn will also be grading in Taekwon-do together in April. Mark will be going for his first degree black belt and Merwyn her fourth degree black belt — making her the only female in Devon and Cornwall to have achieved this.

Mark and Merwyn would like to raise as much money as possible for Cancer Research and have a website for any donations at http://www.run10ksponsorme.org/crunch">www.run10ksponsorme.org/crunch or, pop in and see them at the gym or call 01566 778509.
