Leanne’s challenge, part of Alzheimer’s Society’s fundraising ‘trek’ events, will see her travel through woodlands while enjoying the views of the world-famous Stonehenge on May 10.

She said: “The last two years have been tough.

“Everyday [my mother] will deteriorate a little bit more. We can’t have normal conversations with her and she gets very angry.

“It’s heart-breaking. Please donate what you can to help my mum and other people’s mums.”

Leanne has smashed her original target of £500, raising £675 so far.
