Thousands Raised for Cancer Charity
A Torbay man, whose grand-daughter is battling cancer, is now helping raise thousands of pounds for a local cancer charity.
Colin Stone from Marldon wanted to thank CLIC Sargent for the help it offered his family after 9 year old Miah was diagnosed and rushed to Bristol for treatment: "keeping the family together is important and CLIC Sargent has a support house that is very close to the hospital and the family stayed in that house, being there to support Miah."
Colin's brother has done a zip-wire between two mountains as part of the fundraising and Colin himself has shaved off all his hair to match his grand-daughter - which he says he won't grow back until Miah is in remission and can grow hers back too.
Colin says she is staying strong: "Miah is very positive she has extreme lows after chemotherapy but she bounces back and is really as bubbly as ever"

Colin shaved his head at a fund-raising event recently at Tesco Lee Mill called 'Be Bold, Go Bald', and added "I wish to say thank you to all the people who helped make it such a success."
"My work colleague Richard Gary Taylor (hairdresser), Melissa & Amanda (beauticians), Mike Crowe (photographer), all the staff at Tesco, Vikki & Chrissie, and my wife Maggie."
