Frank to do a runner

Frank Renton is doing a runner this weekend — not from a judges box after a dodgy result, but in aid of Sports Relief.

Much needed support

Frank is asking for a bit of support before the event (he will need plenty afterwards)

Frank told 4BR: "I'm getting involved because Sport Relief brings the entire nation together to get active, raise cash and change lives. All the money raised is spent helping poor and disadvantaged people turn their lives around — in the UK as well as the world’s poorest countries."
