The couple are raising money for the Pendle Domestic Violence Initiative (PDVI), and plan to release 104 balloons to remember every victim of domestic violence killed each year.

Jane, 26, was stabbed 71 times at Blackpool Victoria Hospital, where she worked, by her ex-partner Jonathan Vass in July 2010.

Vass was on bail awaiting trial for thirteen rape and assault charges when he murdered the young mother.

Jane's parents have gathered over 100,000 signatures on an e-petition calling for a stalkers register.
