Two girls put their best foot forward to raise money for a cancer charity. Jessica Chapman, 14, and Kirsty Ambler, 15 - with Jessica's father Malcolm - completed a sponsored walk from their home village of Haworth to Ilkley.

Their effort raised £365 for the Candlelighters, whose representative Michael Hamer is seen (right) receiving the cheque. The Candlelighters - based at St James' Hospital, Leeds - was started around 30 years ago by parents of cancer sufferers and medical staff. The organisation funds a research lab, salaries and equipment, and offers assistance to families experiencing financial problems. The charity also has holiday homes for patients and families.
