A remarkable Sunderland woman has raised more than £40,000 for cancer care charity Macmillan after being stunned by the support they gave her while she herself recovered from breast cancer.
Debbie Wrathmall, 51, had lost her mum to the disease just five years earlier, and she has also spoken out about how recovering from cancer can be a real mental health challenge.
Though her mum's death in 2005 - aged just 55 - led to her fundraising for charities like Cancer Research, her own diagnosis saw her ramp up her fundraising after realising how much Macmillan looks after people going through cancer treatment.
