Workers from a Fleet electronics firm ran the town's half marathon to raise money for a charity which helps detect life-threatening heart conditions.
Staff at Rhode and Schwarz slipped on their running shoes to raise nearly £3,000 for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY), which offers help, support and counselling to families where there has been a sudden cardiac death of a young person.
Frank Mackel, managing director of the Ancells Business Park company, was joined by his wife Karin and Kathryn Scott, Nick Ward, Judy Brain, Patricio Duenas, Phil McCluskey, Jamie Lunn, Darren Nicholls, Andrew Bremner, Paul Harfoot and Colin Davies.
They were helping to raise awareness of the fact that every week eight apparently fit and healthy young people die from undiagnosed heart conditions.
CRY aims to screen all young people in the UK to prevent such tragedies. It promotes heart screening and electrocardiogram testing programmes, contributes to medical research, donates equipment to doctors' surgeries and hospitals, and funds the CRY Centre for Sports Cardiology at the Olympic Medical Institute.
Patrons include comedian David Walliams, former England cricketer Ian Botham and former rower Sir Steve Redgrave, winner of five Olympic gold medals for Britain.
