Linzi Wallace is walking five miles every day in September to raise money for the Critical Care Unit at the Royal Preston Hospital, where her godson, Joshua James McKee, was treated for four weeks before sadly passing away on July 2.

Josh was on his way to move into a new house in Leyland that he had just bought with his older brother Nathan when his motorbike aquaplaned in heavy rain.

Despite the efforts of doctors and nurses, his injuries proved too severe.

Linzi has launched an online fundraising page to support the hospital team that fought to save him.
