Members of a faith-driven Stevenage-based charity have stepped up to a variety of fundraising feats as part of the Captain Tom 100 challenge.
Mercy Ships is an international development organisation that deploys hospital ships to some of the poorest countries in the world, delivering vital, free healthcare to people in desperate need.
Letchworth couple Anne and Joel Buckland rose to the challenge and spent the entire bank holiday weekend interviewing, editing and broadcasting interviews of hope as their Captain Tom 100 Challenge.
