An instructor at Horticap in Harrogate ran 40km yesterday (Tuesday) as part of a fundraising challenge.

Tom Dickinson raised an incredible £820 for agricultural charity Horticap - exceeding his original target of £600.

As an instructor, Tom worked with Horticap's students throughout the summer to make hanging baskets, help with jobs around the site and craft items to sell in the shop and use in the wood workshop.
