A WARRINGTON duo took on a gruelling challenge in honour of family and friends who were diagnosed with breast cancer.

Old school friends Tony Jenkinson and Nikki Dak completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge where they raised funds for the Moobs and Boobs campaign at Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals.

The campaign aims to raise funds for all things breast cancer-related at the trust for both men and women.

But the pair also took on the challenge in honour of friends diagnosed with breast cancer - including Jan Gregory, who had a mastectomy and is now fully recovered and heading back to work, as well as Michelle Thompson, who sadly passed away from breast cancer around three years ago.

Nikki, who is a self-employed sports therapist also accomplished the challenge in memory of her sister Debbie White, who sadly passed away from breast cancer aged just 46.

“We both like a challenge and keep ourselves fit but we hit on the idea of doing something together after my pink bra run last year,” said Tony.

“Choosing Moobs and Boobs is not just for our loved ones but for all men and women who are affected by breast cancer.”

Tony and Nikki completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks on October 9 in eight hours.

Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals charity head of fundraising, Helen Higginson said: “We are so grateful to Tony and Nikki for once again choosing WHH Charity Moobs and Boobs Breast Care Unit appeal to become the benefactor when organising this incredible personal challenge.

“The Breast unit offers amazing diagnostics plus kind, compassionate care, however with continued support we can continue to provide those 'above and beyond' things which the NHS is unable to provide, one example is the ‘first fit post-operative bras’ for mastectomy patients that would otherwise cost the patient around £60.”
