Jade puts best foot forward for cancer cash
Accrington Observer

A NURSERY worker is walking 100 miles this month to raise money for Breast Cancer Now.
Jade Berry, who is a team member at Partou Little Oaks Day Nursery and Pre-school in Accrington, is also doing the walk to increase knowledge of the disease.
She said: "Breast cancer is something that we all hear about, but don't always take notice of until it hits close to home and affects someone close to you.
"From a young age, I was told by family to look for the signs and symptoms, and I never really took it too seriously.
"However, recently someone very close to me was given the news that no-one wants to hear. They received confirmation that they had breast cancer."
