Friend Marcus Cave stole the show by walking to the top dressed in a Borat-style mankini - raising an impressive pounds 350 for the cause. Gemma and Michael's brother-in-law Matthew Wain, 32, also got in on the fundraising act by walking all the way from his home in York to Ingleby Barwick. "Matthew wanted to do something a bit different and he certainly did," said Gemma. "He set off at 5.15am and got to our house at 7.30pm. When he got to Thirsk it started raining so he was very wet. We are all very proud of him." Anyone wishing to help Gemma and Michael in their fundraising efforts can contact them by emailing micksands@msn.com.
