A North Yorkshire midwife who works at Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust is lacing up her trainers and running for a slightly unusual cause this autumn – the welfare of ex-commercial hens. Rachel Clark, who lives in the village of Scruton near Northallerton, will run the Royal Parks Half Marathon in London this October 12 in support of the British Hen Welfare Trust (BHWT), a national charity that rehomes thousands of hens every year from egg farms into loving back gardens.
