Cancer boost

Clairvoyant Steve Holbrook has raised more than £4,000 to help cancer patients.

The money was raised by placing collection buckets at all his recent demonstration evenings, with the help of his three children Robbie, 12, Bradley, nine and Ellie, seven.

The money has been given to Macmillan Cancer Support, a charity which improves the lives of people affected by cancer by providing practical, medical, emotional and financial support.

Mr Holbrook holds events all over the country, including Bradford, and he became involved with Macmillan by helping three Bradford women Carol Ramsden, Kath Smith and Carol Haigh.

The trio are taking part the Macmillan Peru hiking challenge next month and he has given them a donation to help fund their trip. So far raised they have raised £11,500 for Macmillan and are hoping to raise even more.
