Hiking up cash for the NHS

Brothers Conor and Rory Hand will be walking 150 miles over a month, in a bid to raise funds and say 'thankyou' to those working for the NHS.

The siblings, from Guide Bridge are planning on walking the five mile route their house to Droylsden Academy - where 13-year-old Rory attends school - and back each day for roughly 30 days.

 Conor, 23, said: "We both have disabilities (autism, hypermobility, SPD, anxiety) and we've had a scary few weeks in lockdown.

"The NHS have done a fantastic day, so we want to give something back."

The brothers have set-up a JustGiving page ahead of their challenge, and are hoping to raise £1,500 for Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust.
