HUNDREDS of people turned out this weekend to cross Morecambe Bay for CancerCare - raising £5,000 for the charity.

Queen’s Guide Cedric Robinson led 700 walkers across the sands - 250 of whom were walking for CancerCare.

Anna Jackson, from CancerCare, said: “It was a wonderful day with perfect weather, and the atmosphere was amazing.

“The money raised will go to help local families affected by cancer and other life limiting conditions.”

Colleagues from the Halifax bank in Kendal raised more than £1,000 in sponsorship for CancerCare.

The charity is dedicated to helping families affected by cancer across north Lancashire and South Lakeland, providing a wide range of free services including counselling, massage, and support for children and young people.
