A GRANDMA is raising hundreds of pounds for charity by walking 100 laps of her estate – while waiting for a knee replacement operation. Eileen Leonard, 71, of Darlington, started the four-day trek yesterday to mark what would have been Captain Tom Moore’s 101st birthday. Captain Tom, who died in February, famously raised almost £33m for NHS charities by walking 100 laps of his Bedfordshire garden. To commemorate his birthday, Captain Tom’s family has asked people to create their own “100 Challenge” for charity – prompting Eileen to arrange the 100 laps around the block from her home in Ripon Drive. “I was just in awe of Captain Tom and wanted to do my bit,” said Eileen, who is ‘Nana’ to five grandchildren.

Researchers from the University of East Anglia have developed a new urine test for prostate cancer which also shows how aggressive the disease is.

The research team say their new test could reduce the number of unnecessary prostate cancer biopsies by 35 per cent.
