The day is raising money for the Chemotherapy Unit at the University Hospital of Hartlepool and 12-year-old Grace Measor from Seaton Carew who has been undergoing treatment for leukaemia.

David and Tracey chose the chemotherapy unit as it treated their daughter Carlie for breast cancer following her diagnosis in January 2018.

They said: “Cancer has affected our family in a big way over the last couple of years.

“Carlie had six cycles of chemotherapy and then two lots of surgery, then radiotherapy.

“Hartlepool chemo day unit were fantastic and we just want to give a little back in appreciation.”

Kev suggested Grace Measor as another beneficiary of the event after raising money for her at this year’s March of the Mods event.

“It is basically all about helping local people,” added David.
