Friends and family of a 20-month-old girl battling a brain tumour have walked from Brighton to Morden to raise money to help fund her recovery.

Toddler Madison Rowland’s aunt Louise Hurley, 27, from Churston Drive, joined 17 others to hike more than 12 hours through Friday night into Saturday morning to complete the 50 mile trip from the seaside town.

They have raised more than £7,000 to help Madison, who was diagnosed in late February.

Ms Hurley said: “We were meant to have a party to mark the arrival but everyone was so exhausted we all collapsed.”
