A MASSEUR from Bradford on Avon is organising a massage marathon to raise money for victims of the tsunami in south east Asia.

Colette Lassalle, of Trowbridge Road, will be one of 15 masseurs providing free massages at the Swan Hotel on February 13. Any donations made by recipients will go to the Red Cross.

The 45-year-old decided to organise the massage marathon after the success of sessions at Bradford on Avon's I Can We Can festival.

She said: "I hope to introduce it to people who've never had therapy. It provides the chance to have a little rest in a non-threatening environment."

She said there would be many therapies on offer, including head and foot massages, all performed by professional therapists. All therapy will be given over clothes.

Those wanting to take part should contact Miss Lassalle on (01225) 309097.
