VOLUNTEERS are needed to keep a treadmill running for ten hours.
Individuals or teams can sign up for stints on the exercise machine, which will begin running at Chester-le-Street Leisure Centre at 9am on Thursday, February 22, and must be kept running until 7pm.
The event is in aid of the International Dog Service Fund, which is hoping to set up a dog training centre near Chester-le-Street.
Ruth Young, from Chester-le-Street, is involved with the fund.
She said: "If people aren't used to gyms, then they can just sign up for two minutes, or walk. The important thing is to just keep the treadmill going continuously."
Anyone interested in taking part should contact Ms Young on 0191-388 6156.
