Sarah Porter has had to be withdrawn from the Winter Spine due to anonymous threats to her safety. She was raising money for Afghan women and girls to try to give them a better life.

If you want to make all the training she did a bit more worthwhile, please do sling a tenner her way if you have anything spare. I don't know her, but I do have friends who race the Spine (brutal!), I live along the Pennine Way which can bd desolate in winter (and not where you'd want to be without a GPS tracker) and I'd be gutted if I had to pull out.
