A SUPERFIT fundraiser is calling upon the people of Hull to rally behind him as he takes on a 215-mile run across the whole length of the Transpennine trail.

Adam Dixon set off on Monday from Hornsea on seven days of ultra marathons, running around 30 miles every day on his way from Hull to Southport.

He revealed he only decided to carry out the arduous trek eight weeks ago and even more astonishingly - he says it's designed to be a recce for a different fundraiser he and others will take part in next year!

Adam, running and challenge manager at Alder Hey Children's Charity in Liverpool, is taking on the mammoth seven ultra marathons in seven days to raise money for three charities.

The charities include Alder Hey Children's Charity, where he works and gets to see the impact of how money benefits the 450,000 patients that are treated every single year, and the Owen McVeigh Foundation, which supports children and families in Liverpool who are suffering from cancer. The third charity is Rainbow Hub, a charity offering diverse services to brighten the lives of disabled children, young people and their families, where a friend's little boy attends.
