Himalayan trek aids cancer hospital
Graham White, a retired dentistry senior lecturer at Sheffield University, flew to Nepal on Sunday, October 24 , and is set to walk through the Everest region for nine days to raise money for Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity. At 75, the keen walker will be the oldest member of the nine-strong group.
Mr White, from Ecclesall, said: "I have been training hard to prepare, covering over 25 miles a week to ensure I'm up to the challenge – after all I am the oldest of the group.

Mr White has already raised more than 500 in sponsorship, and is more than two thirds of the way to his fundraising target of 750.
