A MAN who underwent heart surgery in Middlesbrough's South Cleveland Hospital put his best feet forward to thank the staff who looked after him.
Peter Jones, of Stokesley, persuaded friends and relatives into completing a ten-mile walk to raise £600 for the South Cleveland Heart Fund.
Mr Jones did the walk to encourage other heart patients to see life after heart surgery as a new beginning.
Francesca Thornley, staff nurse at the cardiothoracic unit, said: "We are very grateful to Peter for this donation, which we will use to benefit future patients. It gives us all a great deal of job satisfaction to see our patients fully recovered and fit and well and enjoying their life to the full again."
