Mum and daughter's sweet charity efforts

Eileen Doane (67), of Oldgate Lane, Thrybergh, raised £335 for the adult cystic fibrosis centre at Northern General Hospital in Sheffield by selling chocolates around Rotherham.

She and daughter Kerry (39), who suffers CF and has been treated at the unit, handed a cheque to consultant respiratory physician Dr Martin Wildman and nurse specialist Shirley Murray.

Kerry said: “My mum raises money for all sorts of charities, but cystic fibrosis is close to her heart.

“She does whatever she can to help and raise funds wherever possible.”

Eileen thanked Hollings Lane post office and staff at the hospital’s endoscopy unit for their help in selling the sweet treats.
