30 people join Ashington woman on 13-mile walk for suicide prevention charity - in pictures

A woman from Ashington who was joined by 30 people for a 13-mile walk has doubled her fundraising target for a suicide prevention charity.

Ashleigh Brown’s half marathon HopeWalk between Worthing Pier and Brighton Pier held Sunday, December 15, took just over four hours to complete and raised more than £2,000 for PAPYRUS.

The 20-year-old said: “We had a very wet start - heavy hail and lots of soggy feet but we powered through nevertheless!

“We had just over 30 walkers in total, two dogs and even one very determined six-year-old who walked the whole way without a single complaint!

“We have been collecting up all the cash donated today and will have a final total within the next few days but so far we have raised well over £2,000 –doubling my original goal!”
