A 10-year-old boy inspired by Captain Sir Tom Moore is aiming to run 100 laps of a community field in support of the NHS.
Jenson O Neil from Istead Rise is going to run just under 40 miles during his free time at weekends and after school to help Darent Valley Hospital.

The Our Lady of Hartley Catholic Primary School pupil has already raised £500 in his first 24 hours of running.
Captain Tomâs amazing achievements captured Jensonâs imagination and inspired him to raise funds in the same way after the 100-year-old made headlines and raised more than £30 million by walking 100 laps of his garden.
