The charity is close to Mr Whitelam’s heart because of the impact the disease has had on his family and friends, and he was able to raise a fantastic £985 in the process.

Mr Whitelam also managed to smash his ‘personal best’ with a time of 5 hours, 5 minutes for the 100 miles.

This is very close to a 20mph average — which is all the more impressive when you consider the course includes 4,000ft of climb!
