A North Yorkshire man with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) has completed a gruelling seven peaks challenge.

Ian Flatt, 58, from Green Hammerton, was diagnosed with MND in 2019. On June 15 this year, he embarked on a challenge to climb seven peaks across England, Scotland and Wales.

Ian and his team began with the Yorkshire mountains Whernside and Wild Boar Fell, before climbing Snowdon and Pen-y-Fan in Wales, Ben Chonzie in Scotland, Skiddaw in the Lake District and finishing on Roseberry Topping in North Yorkshire.

Following the passing of Rugby League legend Rob Burrow, who was also diagnosed with MND in 2019, Ian and his team wanted to continue their fundraising efforts to support the Rob Burrow MND Centre.
