Mike and Pascale O'Leary raised more than £830,000 over a period of thirteen years. They said they were inspired to help after hearing the story of a teenager who had died from cancer.

The couple have been fundraising for more than a decade

Pascale said the couple had arranged various events over the past decade to raise money.

The O'Learys say that they will keep on with the good work. Next year they are hoping to be able to raise enough money for the charity to reach a grand total of one million pounds.
