The Lymington based charity are organising the first of what is hoped to be an annual run on Easter Sunday April 8th. The Oakhaven Easter 10K will start and finish at New Park Brockenhurst at 11am and will follow forest tracks in beautiful surroundings.

Mackenzie Mackenzie & Associates have agreed to sponsor the event and Oakhaven’s Fundraising Director Mike Denny called into the practice recently to thank them personally ( photo). “ We are very grateful to Mackenzie Mackenzie for their kind support of this new event which we anticipate is going to be very popular “ he said “ The New Forest Show Society has kindly allowed us to use the showground for the start & finish and the Forestry Commission have also been very helpful in helping us agree a route outside the showground “.

Dr Donald Mackenzie and Yvonne Mackenzie, partners in the practice said “ We are delighted to be supporting Oakhaven Easter 10K which we hope will be a great success in attracting runners and raising funds for the hospice “.
