Mally Day is walking from Wearmouth, in Sunderland, to Stanhope, in County Durham, on August 11 and 12 to raise funds for Brain Tumour Research and Hartlepool’s Alice House Hospice.

Mally said: “The hospice was crucial in the support of my grandparents as they got older and poorly. Help that my family and I appreciated so very much. They helped us in ways we never expected.”
