The walk is being sponsored by Emotions Funeral Service but donations are also welcome via www.justgiving.com/naomicherigough.

Proceeds will go to the Naomi Cherie Gough Foundation, which was founded by Naomi's parents.

The charity supports bereaved families who have lost a young person on the roads and educates young people about road safety.
