hospital unit that saved his son’s
life.
Ivan Hollingsworth and his close
friend, TV presenter Ben Shephard,

their week-long mission to cycle to

They will then run five marathons to
get back.
The 280-mile challenge will raise
money for the Children’s Heart Unit
Fund at Newcastle’s Freeman Hospital,
where medics carried out life-saving
surgery on Ivan’s son, Sebastian.
Sebastian was just 15 hours old
