and live on Freeview channel 276
The challenge, from April 7 to 10, is being done to raise money in memory of Stuart Blacklock, who was cared for by Saint Catherine’s in late 2022.
Becky, from Pickering, said: "Stuart received his inoperable cancer diagnosis on September 8, 2022 but was initially given hope of having treatment.

“Despite his rapid deterioration, he fought with strength, hope and inspiringly, humour, until the very end - the bravest man we'll ever know.
"Following his diagnosis, we asked him to choose a charity for us to fundraise for.
"He chose Saint Catherine's Hospice, speaking highly of the support and care they give to patients both in the hospice and to those who wish to stay at home with terminal illnesses.
