A man from Chesham is running 5km a day in a bid to raise £5000 for the NHS amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Sandip Das has been doing the 5km runs since April 20 and has set up a JustGiving for people to donate to the NHS.

Sandip says on the page: "As we all know NHS staff and volunteers are doing amazing work right now in caring for Covid-19 patients tirelessly.

"I felt really inspired to do something and contribute to this great cause and so, have decided to take up the challenge of running a 5k daily for a month.

"I have not done a similar challenge before and the excitement to complete it and raise some money for this noble cause is what I am really looking forward to.

He has so far raised £570 of his £5000 target.

He added: "I would be grateful if you can donate and share this page with your friends and family so that we all can help our heroes fight this pandemic and keep up their good work."

He posts on the page his progress everyday with completing the runs.
