Cosford man runs the entire length of the River Severn to raise money for a mental health charity

Cameron Bates, 25 and from Cosford, ran the entire length of the River Severn last week in a bid to raise money and get more people talking about their mental health.
He undertook the massive adventure with his friend, Tom Probert, 26 from Esher near London. So far, the pair have raised almost £10,000 for the mental health charity, Mind.
The pair began at the source of the Severn in the Cambrian Mountains of mid-Wales on Sunday, April 28. Their six-day journey saw them run through Newtown, Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth, Worcester and Gloucester before finishing at the mouth of the river on Friday.
