A heating engineer and his wife have completed the National Three Peaks Challenge carrying a boiler on his back, raising over £14,500 for a Sheffield hospital charity in memory of their stillborn daughter. Oliver and Georgina, from Retford, scaled Ben Nevis, Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and Scafell Pike in July, with the boiler symbolising the "weight of grief" carried by bereaved families like theirs.

The couple lost their daughter Ophelia, who was stillborn at 34 weeks in March, and were cared for at the Jessop Wing of the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, where they spent time with her in the Tulip Room and the hospital's bereavement suite. They completed the climb in 21 hours and 27 minutes, training for months in the Peak District, and marked each summit by blowing bubbles, a tradition begun in the bereavement suite. Funds raised will support the bereavement suite and Tulip Room quiet space, with Sheffield Hospitals Charity saying Ophelia's name, meaning "help" or "aid", will live on through the support given to other grieving families.
