TOWN director John Fenty and the Grimsby Town players will be taking part in the Smileathon next month.

The players have signed up for the sponsored hop, skip, jump, walk or run along the Cleethorpes seafront.

Set to be the biggest fundraiser ever to take place for charities in North East Lincolnshire, all the money raised from the one-mile event on Sunday, September 9, will go to eight excellent Lincolnshire causes.

They are Cleethorpes RNLI; Diana, Princess Of Wales Hospital Macmillan Ward and A1 Trust Fund; The Ark Animal Rescue and Retirement Home; North East Lincolnshire Women's Aid; The Laura McPhee Memorial Fund; North East Lincolnshire Disability Sports Forum; Harbour Place Day Centre; and Friendship at Home Scheme.

Entry packs for the event are available from: Tesco (Cleethorpes), Cleethorpes Leisure Centre, Oasis Health Club, Morrisons, Pro Active Teamwear (New Waltham), The New Inn, North Thoresby.
