Coast to Coast fundraising L
ocal Film-maker and environmentalist Craig Hornby along with his border collie Meg have completed an 180-mile sponsored 'Coast To Coast' walk raising a whopping £5,000 plus for Zoe's Place kids hospice at Normanby. Setting off from St. Bees in Cumbria, the pair walked for 15 days home to Saltburn. They followed the famous Wainwright route across the Lake District, Pennines and Yorkshire Dales before picking up the Cleveland Way near Swainby. Craig said: "Rather than finishing at Robin Hood's Bay, I wanted to give it a unique Cleveland ending and go via Eston Nab as a salute to the hospice below." They were helped on that last leg of their journey by the Zoe's Place bear who met them at the foot of Roseberry Topping with a bag of flapjacks and dog treats. Elaine Dunning, fundraising co-

ordinator at Zoe's Place said: "For one person to raise over £5,000 is amazing especially in this current climate. A big thank you to Craig and everyone who supported him. This money will go a long way to supporting our babies and children at Zoe's Place." Craig added: "I turned 50 this year and wanted to do something physically challenging before I was too long in the tooth! But it was doing it for charity that gave it real meaning. "It was hard going especially in the Lakes. The weather was horrendous and I was lugging an 18kg pack as I camped it all the way. It was exhausting but a stroll in the park compared to what the kids at Zoe's Place have to contend with. "I'd like to thank everyone who donated and inspired me to keep going to the end. It was great to dip our feet in the sea and raise a jar at The Ship."
