A HOTELIER has taken up a charity running challenge after his wife raised thousands of pounds doing the London Marathon.

Jonathan Kaye, of the Cedar Manor Hotel Windermere, will take part in the Great North Run next month to help the Rosemere Cancer Foundation.

The good cause is the hotel’s chosen charity of the year, and Mr Kaye and his wife Caroline have already raised some money with a raffle.

The Rosemere Cancer Foundation funds local cancer research, supporting world class cancer treatment throughout Lancashire and south Cumbria.
