A boy who doctors thought might never walk is home after trekking in the Arctic in tribute to his late father.
Lisa Thomson said her son Caeden, 10, who has cerebral palsy, experienced temperatures of below -29C (-20F).
Mrs Thomson’s husband Alan died from bowel cancer two years ago at the age of 40.
Caeden, brother Ashton, 12, sister Khya, 14, and Mrs Thomson took on the challenge to raise money for a hospice where Mr Thomson was cared for.
The family is recovering after returning home to Corby, Northamptonshire, from Swedish Lapland.
Mrs Thomson, 38, who works as a supervisor at a school, said her husband would have been “massively” proud.
She said the week-long challenge, which involved walking and camping, had raised more than £3,000 for the Cynthia Spencer Hospice – and the NHS.
