A CHEF from The Ship Inn, Roose, Barrow, is running a mile a day in July to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

As he geared up for the task, 31 year-old Chris Tolley said: “I’m feeling confident about the challenge. Only this morning I was thinking of doubling to miles each day to make it more of a challenge.

“I decided to take on this challenge as I have raised money for cancer charities in the past. I have just completed the couch to 5k running programme and so I’m a relatively new runner.

“Once I get up in the morning, I go straight out on my run. Doing this could be a challenge in itself, but I’m determined to raise money for Cancer Research.”
