RAVENSHEAD man Mike Farley is taking part in the Cancer Research Shine Night Walk in London in memory of his wife Carol, who died from breast cancer.

The 26.2-mile walk on Saturday, 27th September — starting at Southwark Park at 9pm and finishing at Old Billingsgate around 6am — aims to help Cancer Research UK’s fight against breast cancer.

Mike said his wife, known as ‘Cazi’, was “my soulmate, a truly inspirational person who always had time for everyone and lived life to the full.”

Mike, who has completed two half-marathon walks and a 15-mile walk, has reached his initial £2,000 fundraising target and is now hoping to raise £10,000.

To donate go to www.just giving.com/mikefarley or text CAZI66 £10 to 70070. To donate cash or collect a sponsorship form, go to Platinum Hair, Ravenshead, or Ravenshead Post Office.

Mike said: “My thanks to Claire at Platinum Hair and Linda at the Post Office. Please dig deep, every £1 will make a difference.”
