“During this second lockdown we were discussing how fortunate we have been over the last year – being happy and healthy. This sparked an idea in Scott to set himself a challenge and raise some money for children less fortunate.

“I’ve been so impressed with his dedication to this challenge. It’s not always been easy, especially since he is back at school. But he feels strongly for the kids that UNICEF help and most nights after school he drags me out for a couple laps!”

So far, Scott has raised £460 and is just £40 from his £500 target. To donate, visit https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/scott-bradley-2010
