Default Big Brother\'s Rebecca set for charity run

Quote:
BIG BROTHER'S Rebecca will be joining hundreds of Coventry families to take part in the city's mini-marathon.

The bubbly 21-year-old will be starting Monty's Mini Marathon, which runs alongside the Cassidy Lady Godiva Half Marathon, on October 19.

Yesterday, Rebecca Shiner - aka Bex - met with some of the excited children planning to take part in the race and admitted she is a bit nervous about taking on the 1.5 mile running challenge.

"I'm going to try and do it well but I think the kids will be running faster than me. I'll be on the ground crawling along. I've not really run before," she said.

"I tried to do the Coventry Fun Run when I was little but my mum ended up having to carry me.

"But I'm very happy to support a charity event. I've done some photos for breast cancer charities because my mum had breast cancer, and I'm hoping to do a lot more for charity."

The event is being held to raise money for the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance and organ-isers are hoping to raise more than £1m.

Paul Claridge, race director, said: "It's great to have Bex involved because lots of young people know who she is and will show up to come and see her. She also emphasises the fun element of our event."

Cathy Clapinson, marketing officer for the city council, said: "Bex agreed straight away to take part. She's crazy about Coventry. As a nursery nurse she also has a great enthusiasm for children.

"We want lots of people to take part and she's getting the message out there. She's a brilliant role model for encouraging young people to be positive about Coventry."

Bex arrived at yesterday's photoshoot with fellow contestant Luke Marsden.

The pair have become inseparable since leaving the Big Brother house and after the photos were off to Holiday Hypermarket, in Central Six, to book their first holiday together.

Although the visit was not publicised fans were delighted to spot the couple outside the Transport Museum and the pair happily posed for pictures and signed autographs.
