A group of workers from Asda stores across North East England have created a song to raise money for the supermarket's Tickled Pink charity.

Some of the backing singers and Washington worker Glen Miller, who wrote the lyrics and music for the song, visited the Hartlepool and Peterlee stores to promote the sale of the CD.

The song, Let Your Fingers Do The Walking, is about how women and men should check their chests regularly for any abnormalities.

Joanne Tweddle, events co-ordinator of the Hartlepool branch, was a backing singer on the song.

She said: "I hope everyone gets involved and picks up a copy, because all the money raised will be going to fight breast cancer."

The CD is now on sale from all Asda stores in the region priced £2.
Tickled Pink has raised nearly £16m for Breast Cancer Care and Breast Cancer Campaign and since 1997.

The charity says 44,000 women and 300 men are diagnosed every year with breast cancer.
