She aimed to raise £200 by walking 60 miles in October to honour her 89-year-old father-in-law, who suffered a stroke earlier this year. Thanks to the generosity of pub-goers, she quickly exceeded her target and now hopes to raise even more before the campaign ends in December. "I'm really grateful to everyone who's supported me," Kelly said. Donations can be made at the pub or through her JustGiving page.
