Ben Murphy has a stone to lose to raise £3,500 for The Dream Factory
A former mayor is close to hitting a weight loss target for charity.
Ben Murphy, 29, of Epping Forest, needs to lose one more stone to raise £3,500 for The Dream Factory, which grants wishes to seriously ill children.
Mr Murphy, who weighed 26 stone at the beginning of the challenge in January, hopes to lose the fifth stone by the end of August.
