Bekah, from Tarleton, is pushing herself to the limit this year to help raise money for the MND Association in memory of her much-loved mother-in-law Jean, who died from MND in 2015 just 364 days after being diagnosed.

Jean's loss has had a huge impact on Bekah and her family, including her husband Oliver, who cared for his mum, their two sons, Jean's husband Keith and daughter Lizy and family. Inspired by Jean, Bekah is taking part in a number of events - including half-marathons, sprint triathlons and swim and step challenges to help raise vital funds and awareness of this devastating disease.

Bekah said: "Jean was a big character in our family - very quiet, very humble but the absolute centre of our world. She was huge in our community too. She organised the Ecumenical Walk in our village and did so much work behind the scenes but would then sit back and let it happen around her. She ran Sunday School for over 30 years and was known and loved by everyone around her."
