In excess of 350 people gathered on Bournemouth's glorious seafront on Sunday to remember a dearly missed friend in the most appropriate fashion possible. Friends and family of Steve Bernard, who was tragically killed in November 2005, joined together for a fancy dress fun run along the promenade to Boscomber pier.
The race was the latest in a long line of fundraisers carried out by the Steve Bernard Foundation, a sporting charity which raises money for sporting projects and causes in the Bournemouth and wider Dorset area. There were a stunning array of Fancy dress outfits with awards being presented for the best male and female outfits.

Roger Johnson, of BBC South Today was generous enough to start the race and expressed his delight at being involed with the event. Roger also presented the prizes to the first finishers; Jacques Bernard picked up the trophy for first male finisher, Sarah Wood picked up the female prize and Christine Doyle the junior award.
The foundation would like to thank each and every person who took part in the fun run and in particular Steve Hendy of the Hendy Group and the teams at the Daily Echo and Fire FM who helped to promote the event. Particular congratulations go to Tony Bernard, without whom the event would not have got off the ground.

The foundation would like to thank everyone for their fundraising efforts and request that all sponsor monies be delivered to the Steve Bernard Foundation by Friday 14th March. The address for the foundation is 32 Pine Road, Winton, Bournemouth, BH9 1NA.
