A BOLTON Market trader has been lacing up his trainers to raise money for Children with Cancer UK.

Joshua Nicholson, 28, who works 12-hour days at DP Hamer Fresh Meat and Fish Packs, has set himself the challenge of running 10km every day of this month.

This is despite the fact that he only started running in February.

“The idea of children not being able to get through the early stages of life gets to me,” said Joshua, who hasn’t missed a day of his challenge yet - and isn’t planning to.

Joshua is hoping to raise £800 for the charity, which helps to fund research and support families. He has raised £440 so far.
