Around a dozen friends rallied together to organise an Afternoon Tea after one of their group successfully completed chemotherapy for the third time since a lymphoma diagnosis in 2010. They raised a staggering £2,300 for the Oncology Unit following a successful fundraising event at a local pub in Redding.
The women said everyone from the chip shop, ice-cream parlour, nail bars and local companies had been extremely generous, and many of those attending had had connections with local cancer services.
