HUNDREDS of pounds has already been raised by ‘Weekend Warrior’ Will Ash who hopes to complete 40 charity fundraisers this year.

It includes marathons, obstacle courses and hikes and is all in memory of friend Alice Byron who passed away in July from cancer. Mr Ash has raised more than £600 so far for Anthony Nolan. He said: “I am five challenges in now, and the difficulty of what I am undertaking is becoming very much a reality. I am confident that I will see it all through, but apprehensive about my physical state in the coming months. Still, I remind myself, it wouldn’t be charitable if it wasn’t difficult.” Mr Ash is blogging his fundraising at http://bit.ly/2moq8nE
