Macmillan's Northumberland Coast Mighty Hike has raised more than £1.2 million for people living with cancer.

More than 2,800 people took part in the marathon or half-marathon challenge on September 14 and 15.

Helen Hancock, challenge events team manager at Macmillan Cancer Support, said: "Macmillan Cancer Support is incredibly grateful to the 2,800 people who took part in the breathtakingly beautiful, but physically challenging Northumberland Coast Mighty Hike at the weekend.

"So far, they’ve raised an incredible £1.2million.

"We couldn’t be more grateful for our amazing supporters.

"The thousands of people who are taking part in Macmillan Mighty Hikes this summer are part of something very special.

"Every penny raised at a Mighty Hike will help Macmillan to provide vital support for people living with cancer, when they need it most."

The charity is almost entirely funded by public donations, and the money raised will help them continue to support people with cancer.
