A GROUP of runners from Wiltshire County Council have raised £1,100 for Multiple Sclerosis.

The eight-strong team, made up of members of the Environmental Services Department, raised the money after successfully completing the Corsham 10K St George's Race.

The race, which was held on April 27, started and finished at the Corsham Town football ground.

Among the runners was Ian McPherson, the council's strategic procurement officer who, himself, has MS.

Mr McPherson said: "We are delighted with the amount of money we all managed to raise for this charity."
