Celebrities including Ant and Dec and David Beckham send special message to Sunderland mum with incurable cancer

Celebrities including Ant and Dec and David Beckham sent a special video message to an inspirational mum from Sunderland who is battling incurable cancer - but is still raising money for charity.

Ann-Marie Sproston, 44, was given the devastating news that she had stage 4B ovarian cancer after being diagnosed with lymphedema in her leg in August 2018. After months of gruelling chemotherapy, Ann-Marie, from Houghton, had a hysterectomy and she was given the all-clear in early 2019.

However, in December 2019, Ann-Marie found a lump in her neck, and sadly doctors told her the cancer had returned and this time it wasn't curable. Ever since her diagnosis, Ann-Marie has dedicated herself to helping others by raising tens of thousands of pounds for charity.
