In 2015, Cpl Paddy Flint, 43, a member of the RAF Police, was diagnosed with Non-Epileptic Attack Disorder, a condition which causes him to blackout.

A spokesperson for the RAF said: "Cpl Flint was previously a dog handler and while the diagnosis radically affected his career, he has successfully fought to stay in the RAF.

"He was also forced to surrender his driving licence in 2013 which has since affected his career path.

"However, earlier this year Paddy was awarded a grant for a recumbent trike by the RAF Benevolent Fund."

Cpl Flint hopes to raise funds for the RAF Benevolent Fund.

He said: "Through this challenge I hope I can show anyone can do this, because apart from my usual few miles I've done no training whatsoever.

"I’m also aware the RAF Benevolent Fund won't have had as many chances to get out and 'rattle the buckets' this year, so any amount I can raise will be vital in assisting service personnel and their families."

Visitors have been asked to make a voluntary donation, with more than £1,600 raised for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance so far.

Mrs Heywood said: "It's given us all the Christmas spirit. You can't see the stars without darkness.

"Even though this year's been tough, there's always some positive to get you through."
