PORTLAND, Maine Most days, Dean Bingham indulges a passion for chocolate as the proprietor of Dean’s Sweets in Portland – but today – he embarked on another passion he finds just as sweet. His plan is to bike what is known as the East Coast Greenway – from Key West to Calais – about 3000 miles. This is his 30th year riding to support The MS Society, and his goal is to raise $30,000 as he pedals his way up the East Coast. His connection to this cause is very personal and goes back decades.

Two women ran 100 miles to raise money for charities close to their hearts. Sisters-in-law Bethany Bennett and Kelly Brown, both of Workington, ran just under five miles every day for a month. They raised a total of £2,189 which they have donated to Hospice at Home West Cumbria and the Multiple Sclerosis Society. The pair were running in memory of three inspirational women: Joan Bennett, Lorraine Bennett and Mary Wordsworth. Bethany said: “Although it has been a tough month, it has been lovely to complete this in memory of three inspirational women that we miss daily. Myself and Kelly set up this challenge with the hope of raising about £100 for each charity.

It was the end of life as I know it , says Katy Glenie, when she recounts that terrible neurologist s appointment in 2019. For an active, outdoorsy 41-year-old with a 2-year-old daughter, Rosie, the words were her worst fears realised.
For weeks the Taupō woman had had pins and needles that started in her hands, along with a lack of sensation. It started in one finger and moved up her hands and arms then began in her feet and moved up the back of her legs.
