The group has raised raised £8838 under the Kiltwalk banner and the Hunter Foundation add a further 50 per cent.

Debbie added: "This means this event will have raised an incredible £13,257 for Marie Curie.

"The money we raised will be linked to our own area which means that end of life, palliative care nursing amounting to 662 hours will be able to be provided."

The group made a final bid to boost their total at the car boot sale on Monday.
