Sheringham Parkrun will be called David's Run on Saturday, March 9, in tribute to David Acott, who died on March 11, 2015, aged 17.

David and his mum Janet Acott, who lives in Cromer, took up the weekly run at Sheringham Park in 2012, just months following a liver transplant after suffering from Wilson's disease - a condition that causes copper to accumulate in parts of the body.

Mrs Acott encouraged people to take part wearing football tops - another sport David loved.

She said: 'It will be a chance to remember David and to raise funds for Children's Liver Disease Foundation, who supported the family when it was discovered David had liver disease.'

Meet at the park at 8.45am for a 9am start and there will be refreshments after the run.
