Accolade For Cancer Survivor's record run
OTLEY: A cancer survivor's amazing fundraising run to London has been officially honoured. Long distance runner Chris Carver completed the feat in just under 44 hours in May, raising more than £2000 for cancer charity Orchid in the process. Mr Carver was congratulated on his achievement by Leeds North West MP Greg Mulholland and Town Mayor Councillor Gerard Francis at a ceremony in the Civic Centre last Friday. Mr Mulholland, who presented Mr Carver with a copy of the Parliamentary motion he made to applaud the runner's efforts, said: "Heis an inspirational character and what he has achieved is incredible." Mr Carver, 45, underwent surgery for testicular and lung cancer in the 1990s and had part of his right lung removed.
