A Boston gym has presented more than £1,000 to a group that supports people affected by pulmonary fibrosis.

Mayhem Gym, of Bittern Way, recently handed over the sum – £1,159, in all – to the Boston Pulmonary Fibrosis Support Group.

The money was raised through a strongman event, held in memory of Nigel Chenery, the father and father-in-law of the gym’s owners Tom and Sarah Chenery.

Nigel died from pulmonary fibrosis in January.

Tom said they wanted to fundraise for the group to help it support others affected by the disease.
