Norfolk fundraiser bearing up well in his unusual London Marathon bid

Have you spotted Bernard the Bear running around Norfolk?

The man behind the mask is Ashley Grote, Master of Music at Norwich Cathedral, whose training for the London Marathon looks a little different this year.

He's doing it dressed as Great Ormond Street Hospital's mascot - raising thousands of pounds to say thank you to the staff who treat his daughter Emily.

She was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour aged three - but Great Ormond Street help her to live a normal life.

This year will be Ashley's fourth London Marathon.

He has raised more than £60,000 for GOSH and is determined to push that total even higher with his latest fundraising page.
