Frome's champion charity fundraiser Rachel Clark had to sit down when it came to adding up the total donations that she raised for the counselling service, We Hear You.

Rachel ran a mile a day, every day, in all kinds of weather and over all kinds of terrain, supported by a loyal band of friends and followers.

The final amount her marathon plus task raised - an incredible £20,000.

Rachel said: " This amount was simply unimaginable at the start of the challenge, my original target was £2,500. It proves that with true grit, determination and a whole lot of love from the community great things can be achieved. The amount will provide 454 counselling sessions and the 365 ripple effect will be felt for a long time."

But Rachel has by no means stopped her fundraising. Save the date - she will be hosting a World Record skittles game on Sunday 7th June in Frome.
