Caring couple in mammoth hike in memory of Oliver
Oliver Gill was born in July 2010 with a rare and aggressive form of the disease, and died on Christmas Day that year.
The LoveOliver charity was set up to fund research into childhood cancer, and has so far raised more than £100,000.

Oliver’s “honorary auntie” Kate Murray, and her partner Iain MacDonald, of South Queensferry, are to complete the West Highland Way walk from Glasgow to Fort William next month to raise money for the cause.
Kate said: “Losing Oliver was so painful and I want to do as much as I can to help other families in similar positions.”
