EMMERDALE stars were so moved by the show's recent cot death storyline that they're trekking around the Dales to raise money for charity .

Actor John Middleton, who plays Reverend Ashley Thomas, and his screen wife Charlotte Bellamy, who plays Laurel, will be marching around the picturesque Yorkshire countryside to drum up support for the Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (FSID).

They decided to raise cash for the charity after their characters lost their son Daniel in the soap.

A spokesperson for Emmerdale said: "The cast and crew thought it would be a great idea to further raise awareness and a bit of money to boot."

"The FSID were a fantastic help to everyone in the planning and playing out of the story."

The cast and crew of ITV's Emmerdale join supporters by walking a Mile in Memory.

Earlier this year, ITV’s Emmerdale brought cot death to the UK’s attention when Ashley and Laurel’s son Daniel died suddenly and unexpectedly. In fact, the cast and crew were so touched by the stories and support they received from people who had experienced a cot death, they have decided to support our Save a Baby Month campaign by walking a Mile in Memory.
