Woman in tears after mammoth challenge during cost of living crisis

A woman was left "in tears" as she pledges to help her community this Christmas.

Despite battling her own health issues, litter picking hero Christine Keen has found another way to help her community and those in need. Christine can be regularly seen picking up rubbish at Jubilee Park in Huyton, but last month she spent her time also completing an impressive fundraiser.

During October, she walked the equivalent of five marathons - over 131 miles and over 300,000 steps - litter picking and collecting donations all to help out families during the cost of living crisis. As a result, the 67-year-old raised an impressive £1,300 for KIND, a charity that works with thousands of young people across Merseyside.
