Rory Underwood and mascot Leicester Tiger joined dozens of walkers for the last leg of a fundraising trek from Market Harborough to Leicester.

Staff from Boots, the UK's leading pharmacy-led health and beauty retailer, have been walking from the company’s Oxford Street store to their head office in Nottingham to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support.

The route has been split into eight stages, and the team taking on the Market Harborough to Leicester leg stopped off at Welford Road where they were joined by Tigers director and legend Underwood, who is also on the Grantham and Sleaford MacMillan Committee, and Leicester Tiger.

“We have walked about 18 miles and my shoes are full of feet,” said Ruth Spencer, director of loyalty at Boots, as she arrived at Welford Road. “I can’t wait to take them off!

“Our aim is to do 290,000 miles between us, one fo every person diagnosed with cancer in the UK each year.”
