The Malcolm Whales Foundation Dorset Walk saw over 160 walkers – including dozens from Ely – trek 40 miles from Weymouth to Studland over three days last month.
The annual hike is expected to have raised £20,000, which will be donated to a number of children’s charities. It has now raised over £130,000 over its nine year history.
Damien Whales founded the charity in memory of his father, Malcolm, who died after a battle with bowel cancer in 2008.
