The firm launched the scheme back in 2011 to help remember people who have passed on as well as raise money for charity.

Claire Gibbs, with Teresa Coombes, Matron of The Early Pregnancy Assessment Services at Both Musgrove Hospital and Yeovil Hospital, is also raising funds by walking the French section of the Camino de Santiago in October next year.

They will walk a total of 115k over four days to complete the challenge.
