A woman whose sister died from cancer at the age of 40 leaving six children, the youngest aged three at the time, is raising money for St Luke's Hospice in Plymouth.

Vicky Lake, from No Man's Land, is growing her hair long and will be getting it cut on November 7 at Looe's Rusty Bucket coffee shop. Her hair is being cut by Posh and Cosy hairdressers and as well as sponsorship money going to the hospice which was so supportive towards her sister, her shorn locks will be donated to Little Princess Trust, which produces wigs for children.
