Keith Hall, a volunteer and locomotive driver at the Severn Valley Railway (SVR), died in June, aged 79.
Close friend Rod Derry, wanted to do something in tribute and at the request of Keith’s family, he set about raising funds in aid of the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA), after witnessing the devastating effects of the illness on Keith.
“I saw a great friend, who was supremely fit and active, destroyed by a cruel illness,” explained Rod.
