A huge effort by two charities to help people living with cancer - and here's how you can support the Sunderland and Hartlepool campaign
Hartlepool-based Miles for Men is joining Amber’s Law from Sunderland to tackle a sponsored walk next month and what an effort it promises to be with a predicted 30 people climbing the Yorkshire Three Peaks on September 12.
Darren Cliff from Ambers Law and Micky Day from Miles for Men have teamed up their charities to attempt to raise £40,000. That’s the target they have set to buy a caravan which will be used as a respite home for people with cancer and their families.

Micky explained that the caravan would be based at Crimdon and added: “We think that this is important and we know what it means to the people that it helps.”
It has been an award-winning force to be reckoned with in the Hartlepool area ever since it started.
