Harrogate hospital staff walk, run and bike to New Zealand for charity
Staff at Harrogate District Hospital have raised money for charity by walking, running and cycling the distance from Harrogate to Wellington in New Zealand.
They started the challenge in February and walked 22,866 kilometres by Easter, raising £1,600 in the process. That is £400 more than the original target.
45 staff from the pharmacy department took part. They all tracked how far they had ran, walked and cycled each week and added up the total.
The money will go to Harrogate Hospital and Community Charity. It supports staff, services and patients at Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust.
