Derry man, John Butcher, is set to run four miles every fours over the course of four days to raise vital funds for Foyle Hospice.

The avid runner will run an incredible total of 100 miles in the mammoth feat.

John wrote: "I will be running to raise much-needed funds for Foyle Hospice.

"From 4 pm on 22nd February to 4pm on 26th February I will run four miles every four hours. This will be a total of 100 miles with little sleep.

"Local charities suffered during Covid with fundraising and I am looking to raise money for a fantastic Hospice who do great work for the community.

"I will post nearer the time where I will be starting from for each time slot if anyone would like to join me for a few miles.

If you can donate please do - every donation is gratefully received. Thank you."
