Baston dad Kieran Lynch ran through the pain barrier to raise money for a Down's syndrome group particularly close to his heart.

Kieran completed the 21 mile run around Baston, Langtoft and Market Deeping to mark World Down’s Syndrome Day on March 21, raising money for the Peterborough Area Down’s Syndrome Group. Kieran explained: “Harrison has Down's Syndrome and when we moved back here from London the charity was really helpful to us as a family."
