YOUNG Aidan Courts took National Walk to School Week all in his stride - and at the same time thought he would raise some cash for Cancer Research.

Aidan, 11, decided he would walk nearly 10 miles from his home in Redditch to Coppice Primary School in Wythall, along with his mum Lynda.

The sponsored walk, which raised more than £150, took him about three hours and was all his idea.

Headteacher Mark Slater praised Aidan for his effort.
