Yorkshire Eye Hospital staff will be keeping it in the family when they help raise funds by taking part in the Race for Life in Bradford.

Mothers and daughters from the Apperley Bridge hospital have teamed up to raise money for Cancer Research UK by taking part in the five-kilometre run on Sunday in Lister Park, Manningham.

Nursing sister Sandra Stebbings and her daughter Anne-Marie are joining medical PAs Susan Carter and Fiona Holling and their respective daughters, Jenny and Natasha, to take part in the biggest women-only fundraising event in the UK.

Administrative manager Jacqui Collins and her daughter Laura are also taking part, along with hospital receptionist Diane Smith, laser co-ordinator Amanda Whitteron and laser administrator Tracey Wilcock-Smith.

Chairman of the hospital Ian Johnston said: "These girls have worked extremely hard to prepare for this event and it's great to see families pulling together in this way.

"We wish them the best of luck in the event.

"I'm sure they will enjoy it immensely."
