A West Sussex dad has raised nearly £1,700 for the NHS by walking 140 miles with his son.

From Monday (April 13) to Sunday (April 19) last week, Steven Morgan, 65, and his 13-year-old son Elliot used the field at the back of their house in June Lane, Midhurst, to raise funds for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for frontline NHS staff at two hospitals in West Sussex - St Richard’s in Chichester and Worthing.

Steven, who has Crohn’s Disease, completed the six-day challenge in memory of Megan Cox — the nurse who saved his life when he was given two weeks to live 20 years ago.
