A SOUL night in York raised £3,780 for York Against Cancer.

The event earlier this month at the Royal York Hotel continued a tradition started by an inspirational Woodthorpe mother-of-four who died in 2012, almost two decades after a bone marrow transplant.

Lynne Burnett, of Woodthorpe, and her husband, Mick, organised soul nights every year for nine years, raising £40,000 for charity.
