Twins run for hospice

Twins run for hospice Matt and James Gabrielli
By Matt White Tue, 23 October 2012 6:00AM

Twin brothers Matt and James Gabrielli hope Islanders will back their bid to raise money for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice.

The eight year olds from Newport will take part in Saturday's mini BUPA Great South Run, hoping to raise as much money as possible.

The pair said they wanted to raise money for the hospice because it was an important Island charity.
