Rebecca Sheen is the proud mum of 11-year old Charlie Sheen who today (Sunday) completed his incredible 75-mile run for Alder Hey Children's Hospital Charity in Liverpool.

Charlie completed the final 5-mile leg of his amazing fundraising campaign by running from Llandudno Pier to the Coast Cafe at Rhos on Sea. He was joined along the way by loads of fellow runners and met by a huge crowd of supporters when he finallyfinished.

This is what Rebecca said tonight: -

And many runners later expressed their gratitude to the run director  Dougie Graham  and his RD colleagues,...
