Knight on the road

CRICKET hero Sir Ian Botham set off from Sheffield Town Hall yesterday morning bound for the Peak District in the fifth leg of his latest fund raising trek.

Beefy’s Great British Walk 2012 is aiming to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research and Sir Ian walked from Leeds to Nostell Priory in Wakefield on Saturday. Yesterday he was also joined by 12-year-old Lucas Sutheren, above, from Barnsley, who is undergoing leukaemia treatment at Sheffield Children’s Hospital. picture: chris lawton.
