To this end we are offering two free year long passes to the gym for two ladies who are determined to put their best foot forward for the Hospice this June.

Ideally our winners will be relative newcomers to the Hospice walk and will be looking for a little bit of extra motivation to get them over the finishing line.

Personal trainers at Lifestyle Fitness will work with our two lucky ladies to make sure they reach a peak fitness levels now and after the annual fundraiser - which raises thousands of pounds towards the work of the Hospice.

To be in with a chance to win the free passes, we want to hear your story. Perhaps you have a special motivation for getting fit, or there is a special reason you want to support the work of the Hospice?

Send us your story before April 4 and winners will be selected in the following week. Send your entries to Foyle Female 5k, ‘Derry Journal’, Buncrana Road, Derry, BT48 8AA or email claire.allan@derryjournal.com
