Dad's heroic effort in memory of stillborn daughter

A dad has walked 180 miles from London to Manchester in searing heat in memory of a daughter he never knew. Ben Moorhouse did the journey in 55 hours - with no sleep.

His inspiration was his child, Kallipateira, who was stillborn in October 2018, two weeks before she was due. Since then with the help of a specialist centre at St Mary's Hospital, Manchester, he and his partner, Gaynor Thompson, have become proud parents to a son, Apollon.

He made the epic trek to raise funds for Tommy's Stillbirth Research Centre, based at the hospital. For the final 21 miles of the walk he was joined every step of the way by Professor Alexander Heazell from the unit.
