HUNDREDS of people turned out this weekend to cross the 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.

DSC_0614Anna 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.”

One team of walkers, colleagues from the Halifax in Kendal, raised over £1,000 in sponsorship for CancerCare.
