## Summary

BBC Look North presenter Amy Garcia and fundraiser Lindsey Burrow have begun an 80-mile push of the programme’s red sofa across Yorkshire for Children in Need. The challenge aims to raise money for the charity, with Burrow returning after joining Garcia for a three-legged walk last year.

The pair set off from Ripon on 9 November and are due to finish in Wakefield on Friday, travelling through North, West and South Yorkshire. Planned stages include Sprotbrough to Conisbrough, Strines to Sheffield, Meltham to Holme Moss, and Morley to Wakefield; the first day’s route passed through Harrogate, where they appeared on a live broadcast. Donations can support services including safe cot mattresses and therapy for children.
