ENTHUSIASTIC Tesco staff and generous Burnham-on-Sea shoppers combined to raise more than £400 for Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life last weekend. The much-needed money was collected when the Ben Travers Way Tesco Superstore staff turned the building pink as part of the three-day fundraiser. Many colleagues dressed from head to toe in pink on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (April 23-25), and shoppers were keen to donate to such a good cause, with a bucket collection in addition to sponsored staff members wearing pink in exchange for a small donation. Martin Rose, the superstore’s manager, said: “Our Tesco Turns Pink event is always a fantastic way for colleagues and customers to support Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life.

A SUPERMARKET worker shaved their head and raised more than £2,000 for charity to support those suffering from cancer, after previously fighting off the disease herself. Nikola Bevan raised £2,528 online after her hair was shaved at Tesco in Warfield, Bracknell, on Saturday for Cancer Research UK, as part of the national supermarket’s annual three-day fundraiser for the charity. Ms Bevan was motivated after previously having cancer and losing friends and family to the disease. She said: “I’ve lost my hair twice, and then I didn’t have an option, it fell out and there was nothing I could do.
