Pals put a stamp on decade of walking

A group of friends have raised thousands of pounds for cancer care in the town as they mark the 10th anniversary of an annual charity walk.

The group walk from the Marina, in Hartlepool, to Seaton Carew and back every year in support of breast cancer care at the University Hospital of Hartlepool.

The friends - some who have had breast cancer and some who have had loved ones affected - have been doing the walk since 2015 and have since raised more than £8,000. The money collected from donations as the group carried out the walk will go towards improved surgical technology to improve patients' experience when getting treatment.

This they managed to raise £880 for the breast cancer unit at the hospital.
