A MOTHER and daughter team from Malton have raised more than £600 for Macmillan Cancer Support by hiking through the summer heat.

Linda and Annie Brannan took part in the 26 mile Macmillan Mighty Hike from Alnwick to Bamburgh in Northumberland in the middle of the heatwave in July, which saw some other participants require medical assistance on the baking dunes.

Annie and Linda run Halcyon Beauty in Malton’s Market Place. Linda said much of the funds had been raised by customers of the parlour, as well as passers-by.

She said: “We would like to thank all our customers at Halcyon Beauty for their fantastic support.”

Their total so far is £635 for Macmillan Cancer Support, with more coming in.
