Rugby player Alfie Martin has completed a 250 mile lap of Cornwall for charity - passing through Falmouth en route.

Alfie decided to take up the challenge to raise money for two causes.

Firstly, raising money for Chae Jenkins, a friend of his who is currently battling the toughest of physical health challenges, a tumour to the brain.

Chae began Chemo and Radiotherapy in May - the first of six 4-weekly treatment cycles.

The second cause he is supporting is Cornwall Mind, a mental health charity based in Cornwall.

Alfie visited each and every rugby club in the county, covering areas such as Bude to Camelford, Camborne, Helston, Falmouth to Penryn, making his way back to Bude over the weekend.

Adding his whole fundraising page together Alfie has received over £5,000 in donations.

Since leaving Bude RFC on the 1st of June he has completed, 81 hours of walking, 271 miles, 610,966 steps in a 26,292ft elevation.

Upon finishing, Alfie added:

"The support from the Cornish community has been immense. I've met some amazing people, made memories that I will cherish forever, and raised one heck of a lot of money for two incredibly worthy causes.

"To all the clubs, pubs, and people I've visited and had walking with me along the journey, thank you all for your generosity and warm welcomes. I've had a truly amazing experience and I couldn't be prouder to live in Cornwall."
