'We just want to do something to give back'

Ady Dayman

Available for over a year

A Hinckley couple are taking on the huge challenge of running five marathons in five days. Tom and Sophie Derry start their quest of tackling almost 135 miles on 29th May. They'll be running from Chelsea in London, up through Leicestershire and ending in Nottingham. It all's because their daughter Odette, who's now 3 years old, was treated for a brain tumour in 2022. She had 17 surgeries at Nottingham's childrens' hospital which saved her life. Tom and Sophie tell Ady Dayman that the money they raise will go to the hospital as a thank you to the staff who saved Odette's life.
