A FIREFIGHTER ran 48 miles in 48 hours to help a five-year-old suffering from a rare form of cancer. Raye Honey finished a four-mile lap of Blunsdon every four hours between midday on Friday and Sunday morning. Fellow firefighters and their families joined her for the final push, with children on bicycles cycling ahead while her colleagues puffed and panted under their heavy uniform. Raye decided to make the exhausting effort to support five-year-old Avaya Powell, who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma last year and goes to the same pre-school as her son. The little girl’s parents are fundraising for alternative treatments that are not covered by the NHS after several rounds of chemotherapy and a clinical trial treatment failed to remove the tumour.
