'We've run down all 580 streets in our home town'

Ian Jackson and his son-in-law Oliver Finch have run down what they believe are all 580 streets in the Derbyshire town of Ilkeston.

After losing friends to pancreatic cancer, they have also signed up for the London Marathon to help boost their fundraising efforts.

Mr Jackson said: "I've lived in Ilkeston all my life and you suddenly realise there's a lot that you've not seen.

"It's a good chance to raise some money and get fit. It's been phenomenal really."

They are raising money for The Ben Parker Trust Fund – a charity that enables families with children who have cancer to go on holiday - and Pancreatic Cancer UK.
