Two women ran 100 miles to raise money for charities close to their hearts.

Sisters-in-law Bethany Bennett and Kelly Brown, both of Workington, ran just under five miles every day for a month.

They raised a total of £2,189 which they have donated to Hospice at Home West Cumbria and the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

The pair were running in memory of three "inspirational" women: Joan Bennett, Lorraine Bennett and Mary Wordsworth.

Bethany said: “Although it has been a tough month, it has been lovely to complete this in memory of three inspirational women that we miss daily.

"Myself and Kelly set up this challenge with the hope of raising about £100 for each charity.

"We are truly blown away with the generosity of people and it shows how appreciative families are of the work that the charities do.

"On the first day we witnessed a comet fly past, which was special and seemed fitting for the start of the month ahead.

"The challenge has certainly been tough at times and running just shy of five miles daily started to take its toll towards the end, but we finished in the torrential rain.”

A spokesman for Hospice at Home West Cumbria said: "We would like to say a huge thank you to Bethany and Kelly who have raised just over £1,370 for Hospice at Home West Cumbria.

"Congratulations to you both on such a great achievement. You have raised a fantastic amount, which will enable us to carry on caring for patients and families in our local communities."
