Norwich City's Grant Holt starts charity walk for children's hospices

A former Norwich City striker has begun a 46 mile-walk (74km) to raise money for a group of children's hospices.

Grant Holt, 42, will walk through the night from Ipswich to The Nook hospice in Framingham Earl, near Norwich.

He was setting off at 17:00 BST in his fundraising feat for East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH).

"It's a bit of a mind over matter situation... if it takes me two days, we'll get round," said Holt.

"It's one of those places if you're doing the walk and you do get tough times - blisters, cramp - you think about some of the people you've met and they've got big problems.
