We celebrated Captain Tom’s sterling effort to raise funds on behalf of the NHS – now Whitby dance teacher Barbara Benson-Smith has clocked up an impressive feat of her own, just days ahead of her 90th birthday celebrations.

Barbara decided she would like to raise money for the Great North Air Ambulance as part of her Birthday Blitz fundraiser, by street dancing 90,000 steps.

And she has hit the target of £5,000 ahead of her 90th birthday, which is on Thursday (June 11).
