STAFF from Thornes Farm Shop, Stockleigh Pomeroy aka Team Thornes headed to London on Sunday, January 30 to take part in a 26 mile marathon walk in aid of Hospiscare.

The team completed the marathon and at the time of going to press had raised an amazing £2,412.

Back in the early autumn the team joined the 40 Club which is organised by Hospiscare.

It involved 40 businesses around the Mid Devon area, to each raise £1,000 for the charity in its 40th year, so Team Thornes took on this challenge kicking off the new year by going big.

Team Thornes walked the marathon, following the River Thames, which was organised by Ultra Challenge.

Katie Davie was walking dressed as a strawberry and her sister Emma wore Crocs!
