SPINAL injury patients benefiting from a new specialist unit celebrated its first anniversary - and their return to health - with a walk.
About 100 patients, families and staff from the spinal rehabilitation unit of Cleveland Nuffield Hospital, in Norton, on Teesside, took part in Saturday's event.
They followed a route from Saltburn Pier, through the woods and back to the beach.
Greg Henderson, a senior physiotherapist at the unit, said: "The spinal rehabilitation programme has many personal success stories. For some of the patients, to walk three miles was unthinkable a year ago."
