A THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD has completed an 18-mile run to raise funds for his boxing club.

Taylor Barber, from Bude, completed the run from Padstow to Camelford via the Camel Trail in 3 hours and 20 minutes.

Taylor took it upon himself to organise the run in aid of Tamar Amateur Boxing Club in Bude after he overheard a conversation between some of the club committee members about the last show only just breaking even due to a lack of supporters.

Taylor asked Ross Chard, head coach at the club, if he could do a sponsored run and had a few hand drawn maps of routes and estimated times.
