Four generations of one family took part in the Santathon on Sunday in aid of St Francis Hospice in Havering-atte-Bower.
Renee Brown, 82, her children, their partners and children, and Renee’s three-month-old great-grandson Ollie all took part in the fundraiser in Dagenham.
Renee’s daughter, Tracey Hobden, 42, from Barking, said: “The event was really good. It had a great atmosphere.
“My brother Mark ran last year, he inspired us all to take part.
“This year a friend of mine, Valerie Camp, who is my daughter Sarah’s godmother, went into St Francis and sadly passed away. We all saw the fantastic work that they did.”
Renee Brown 82, from Chadwell Heath; Mark Brown 43, Lorraine Brown 41, from Dagenham; Mandy Brown and Paul Hayden and their baby Ollie 3 months from Basildon; Bobby Brown, 23, Tracey Hobden, 42, Steve Hobden 47, Sarah Hobden, 14, and Emma Hobden, 10, from Barking, all took part.
