DAVE Collett celebrated his 60th birthday by running another leg of his Lands End to John O’ Groats fund raising challenge.
Dave’s wife, Deborah, a former Mossley resident, died of breast cancer, aged 55.
By chance the dad of three’s route from Cornwall to the tip of Scotland – stage 30 of 63 – included an opening stretch in Mossley and Saddleworth.
Dave and his running companions from Northowram Pumas then made their way through Greenfield, Uppermill and Diggle, onto Marsden towards a stage finish at Overgate Hospice, Elland.
Dave, managing director of Collett Transport, hopes to raise a minimum £10,000 and complete the 874 miles journey – started on July 3 – on September 13.
