POLICE support workers set themselves q gruelling overnight challenge - and raised more than £1,400 for charity.
Ten staff from North Yorkshire police and their friends trekked across the famous Lyke Wake Walk to raise funds for Cancer Research.
They set off from Osmotherley near Northallerton at 11pm and reached Ravenscar on the coast - complete with blisters, at 2.30pm the following day.
Procurement officer Dave Freeman, who organised the event, said: "Every year we like to do a challenge and this year we decided to do the Lyke Wake Walk on behalf of Cancer Research UK, as we all have friends or family who are fighting their own battles in some sort of way with this disease.
"The walk itself was extremely hard due to amount of rain that had fallen over the previous weeks, it made the track into rivers and our feet were wet for most of the 42 miles."
