Charity run

In June I wrote about Alexandra Lines, a talented music student and DJ who died aged just 22 of a brain tumour caused by skin cancer. Click here to read more.

Alex's parents said it was their daughter's wish to raise money for cancer charities.

Next month I am taking part in the Great South Run, a 10-mile course in Portsmouth, to raise money in Alex's name for the Royal Marsden Cancer Campaign and Leukaemia Research.

I would be delighted if you would like to support me with a donation. Click here to sponsor me online. Thank you in advance.

Drugs gang

Drugs workers in Portsmouth say they are coping with a crisis after dealers descended on the city this summer selling half-price cocaine and heroin.

The gang targeted rehab clinics and homeless people with business cards advertising their cheap deals.

It comes as Portsmouth is revealed in a report as the cheapest place to buy ecstasy in the UK, with prices as low as 50p a pill.

Watch BBC South Today this breakfast time or evening to hear more on the story from a worker at the city's needle exchange, a recovering heroin user, Portsmouth city council, the police and the charity Drugscope.
