A COUPLE whose sons are cared for by Derian House have raised more than £2,000 by walking from Bolton to Blackpool. Daniella Wroth and her partner Julian Crossman, from Westhoughton, undertook the 30-mile trek on March 27, reaching Blackpool Tower in just over 11 hours.

The boys absolutely love going there and they are treated with such care and love.”
