Jane was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012 and has undergone a major operation and 18 weeks of chemotherapy.

Previous fundraising events have included a three-day coast-to-coast bike ride from Morecambe to Bridlington.

Paul said: "We have just done out Christmas super hampers and four lucky winners will have a wonderful Christmas.

"We have just raised £1,044 taking the total just short of £70,000 since starting fundraising for Macmillan."
