Mr Happy is going the extra smile for charity

MR Happy, also known as Andy Jackson, is running from John O'Groats to Land's End to raise funds for Children with Leukaemia.

Andy, pictured outside Edinburgh Castle during his challenge, was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia in September 2003 - at the age of 18 - and underwent a bone marrow transplant.

He has run five London Marathons, including three dressed as Mr Men characters, as well as marathons in Paris and New York while raising more than 40,000. He said: "I want to raise 250,000 - the amount it cost for me to have a bone marrow transplant."
