In the 12 years since Consett woman Sharon Chorley lost her husband and daughter to cancer within months of one another, she's raised more than £30,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support
And now she's taking to the skies for a tandem skydive in hope of adding to that total. Sharon's daughter Toni was just 23 when she died just after Christmas 2008 after suffering from Hodgkins Lymphoma - while husband Phil had lost his fight with bowel cancer in September of that year.
Sharon owns the boutique fashion store TLC Clothing in Blackhill and through taking part in charity challenges, holding raffles and other events, she's raised thousands for the charity in the years since her family was visited by tragedy.
