Two Richmond and Twickenham Times reporters spent the week in Santa suits ahead of their latest challenge.

Amy Dyduch, 23, and Clare Buchanan, 25, who work at the Elmbridge Guardian’s sister paper, will join hundreds of others for a dash through Richmond Park in aid of Princess Alice Hospice on Sunday, December 8.

Miss Dyduch said: "I’m so excited about the Santa dash.

"I think it will really get us in the festive spirit and we are both really happy to be supporting the Princess Alice Hospice."

A Santa run for the Esher hospice took place at Bushy Park on Sunday, December 1, with two more taking place this coming weekend.
