Kam Mistry took part in a 12-hour walk on his 50th birthday to help raise money for the baby unit in Portsmouth and Bradford Hospital.

He was born two months premature and spent five weeks in an incubator and returned the favour with his birthday fundraiser. Kam and his daughter walked 26 miles from Waterlooville through Havant, Emsworth, Cosham and then finally to the Portsmouth seafront.
