A Liverpool fan running from London to Paris in memory of his son is making good progress on his gruelling 250-mile journey.
Matthew Gaut began this mammoth task at Greenwich Park on Tuesday evening and is due to arrive in the French capital on Sunday afternoon. Mr Gaut decided to take on this challenge to help launch a paediatric trials network for kids living with blood cancer across the United Kingdom.
A charity close to his heart after the tragic passing of his son, Harry, at the age of six to AML (acute myeloid leukaemia), Matthew was left inspired by the level of care his son received throughout his life and is now going to extreme lengths to raise money for Cure Leukaemia - a national blood cancer charity which funds pioneering trials across the UK to connect patients with potentially life-saving treatments.
