County Durham man's touching gesture to thank those who cared for twin sister who died at 55

A man from County Durham has thanked those who cared for his twin sister who sadly died at the age of just 55 - by taking on a huge challenge in her memory.

Steve Thomas lost his twin sister Jayne after she was admitted to hospital with acute renal failure. Jayne, who had learning difficulties, was moved into a care home in Birmingham after getting "substandard" care in her previous home.

But sadly, Jayne was in and out of hospital until her death on April 2 and only spent around 17 days in Cole Bank Road care home in Birmingham. Despite her minimal time at the home, Steve said the care his sister received was "absolutely fantastic" and wants to thank those who cared for her.
