Moonlight mountain hike raises £1,500

Julie and John Whitehouse have completed a Snowdon moonlight hike to raise more than £1,500 for charity.

The couple, who run Whitehouse Funeral Service in Darlington, took on the challenge to walk 1,085m (3,560ft) in the dark for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Julie said: “The event was a tremendous success and illustrates our continued efforts to raise funds for local charities. Macmillan Cancer Support is a charity close to our hearts as we see, almost on a weekly basis, the impact that cancer has on the families we look after and often hear of the amazing work the charity does.

“The charity is also close to home as last month we lost our nephew to this cruel disease and experienced first-hand the fabulous work that Macmillan does. Along with the other charities we support we pledge to continue our support for Macmillan.”
