Steph’s friend Gemma Smith (34) also helped with fundraising by baking cakes for the occasion.

In total, £466.74 was raised with all the money going to the Alzheimer’s Society in memory of Steph’s great-grandmother, as part of the charity’s ‘Jog On Dementia’ campaign.

Steph told the Leader that the walk went ‘really well’ and she is pleased with the amount raised.
