Alexia Rushton is taking on an Ironman 70.3 next year in aid of Brain Tumour Research. Mr Jones, visiting Harrogate last week, became her first sponsor.

Alexia explained: “Many people ask me why an earth I’m attempting such an extreme event. Because, I believe that if you are determined enough, you can amaze yourself at what is possible .

“The ironman 70.3 involves swimming 1.2 miles in a cold lake, cycling a very hilly 56 miles and then running 13.1 miles – all in as little time as possible.

“To achieve this I need to become super fit, lose at least three stone, and I only have nine months to do it.

“Brain Tumour Research and Support makes a huge difference to people’s lives, all of whom are going through the unthinkable.”
