A SPECIAL Pilates event is being held at Okehampton College this month to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation.

The event has been organised by Sandra Pruski of Monkokehampton, who is due to trek along the Yangtze River in China in March. To go on the gruelling trip she needs to raise a minimum of £2,700 for the BHF.

The pilates evening takes place on Thursday February 20 at 7pm ? for more information, call Sandra on 01837 851439 or Yvonne on 01837 53753. All proceeds raised will be donated to the British Heart Foundation.
