A charity fundraiser is currently six days into a mammoth challenge in a bid to raise funds for the Brathay Trust.

Joanne Egerton, who runs for the Hyde Village Striders, had decided to take on the 10 in 10 Windermere Challenge - regarded as one of the UK's toughest feats - which will challenge her to ten marathons in ten days.

Joanne, who is among 25 people in the UK to have been selected for the challenge, is looking to raise £4,500, and has so far received donations totalling £4,262 on her Justgiving page.

The fitness enthusiast has been posting regular updates of her efforts since the challenge began on May 13, which can be found the the following link on her donation page. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Joanne-Egerton1?fbclid=IwAR2kjlyaVBMRz9Sqi4C2fi10WUOJPo2x-0zv-YYwc1G6NGYIKtNoWHc1Hbk

We spoke to Joanne a few months ago about the reasons behind the challenge.
