A DJ and producer will walk on fire next month to raise money for Macmillan Cancer support.

James Sammon, of Bingley, whose hit single Blurred reached number 6 in the charts in 1996, will stride across red-hot embers in Wakefield on November 15.

He said: “I have for many years seen my own mother battle with cancer on and off and the various treatments she has received.

“She has recently lost two of her sisters due to cancer both of whom played a big part in my life as a child growing up.

“That is all the motivation I need to raise money and do the fire walk.”

He aims to raise a minimum of £184, which is the cost of care by a Macmillan nurse for a day.
