A Harby teenager is running 25 half-marathons in 25 days to raise money for a charity which supports people with mental health issues.

Jono Hedley, a student at Oakham School, has already generated nearly £5,000 for Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) after starting his gruelling challenge on Thursday.

He plans to run the 25th half-marathon on Christmas Day before tucking into his festive dinner with family members.

Jono explained why the charity is close to his heart: “I chose to do this because I know a lot of people, including myself, struggled with their mental health during the Covid lockdown and it’s something I wanted to raise awareness and money for.
