A Portsmouth scaffolder has begun an 860-mile charity run from John O’Groats to Land’s End to raise money for families affected by neuroblastoma.

Charlie Chandler, 34, started the challenge on Sunday, 10 May, and is aiming to complete the route on Sunday, 24 May.

The run will see him cover about 54 miles a day, roughly the same as 2 marathons, as he travels the length of Britain.

Chandler is raising funds for The Amelia-Mae Foundation, a children’s cancer charity set up in memory of Amelia-Mae Davies, who was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma in 2012 and died the following year.

The story was first reported by Portsmouth.co.uk, which spoke to those involved in the challenge and has the full background.
