Fundraisers support Compton Care in memory of late Wolverhampton MP
Daring fundraisers who battled a 140-mile charity trek are hoping their feat will pull in tens of thousands for people in need.
Brendon Turner called on his friends to help raise cash for Compton Care in memory of his late dad Lord Bilston Dennis Turner.
He is now hoping residents will support the cause by helping fundraisers reach their £16,000 target for the hospice.
Mr Turner, who led the team, said: “We were really impressed with Compton Care and the care and dedication they showed to my dad.
“I am just keeping my dad’s memory alive in a positive way, whilst at the same time helping out a really caring and important charity.
“No wage or salary would have been enough to repay the love and affection shown by the nurses from Compton Care."
The challenge, which took place last weekend, saw fundraisers carry two Compton Care staff members from Swansea to Wolverhampton without their feet touching the ground.
