INTREPID fundraiser Alan Blake is battling on through the bad winter weather in his bid to raise £100,000 for his chosen charities. The 89-year-old made an appearance on regional television last week with a short feature on his efforts on the BBC news magazine Midlands Today helping to lift his total beyond £10,750.

He is climbing the 120 steep and circular steps around his riverside garden on a daily basis and aims to continue his challenge until October when he will have passed his 90th birthday.
