Supporters and patients have raised more than £14,000 for a cancer charity.

They did this by walking 20 miles from Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth to University Hospital Southampton (UHS).

The event was organised by Clare Norman, from Southampton, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2023.

She underwent surgery, chemotherapy and an additional operation in 2024.

After a tough recovery, she is now cancer-free.

Among the participants was 74-year-old neuroendocrine tumour (NET) patient, Maria Bunce, who completed the entire 20-mile walk.

Clare Gough, from Salisbury, raised £2,230 through sponsorship for the event.

Jo Green, director of operations and marketing at PLANETS, said: "Clare’s journey highlights the importance of innovation in cancer treatment and her determination to support others is truly inspiring.

"This event brought together patients and supporters to raise vital funds and we are grateful to everyone who took part.

"The money raised will help fund patient support, pioneering treatments and research to improve cancer care."

The charity walk included a stop for lunch at Sarisbury Green Social Club.

PLANETS now plans to make this an annual event.
