The race – which was organised by Ben and wife Amy – raised £2258 for the neonatal unit at the University Hospital of North Staffordshire.

Ben and Amy are raising money for the neonatal unit to thank them for the care their daughter Bethany received last year. There’s more on that in this lovely article on The Sentinel website HERE
