Magdalena Korytkowska, LOROS Partnership Development Lead, added: "Julie and Mike, along with their supporters never fail to amaze us each year - they are such great supporters of the Hospice.
"Their annual Christmas fundraising is hugely appreciated by everyone and the £1,070.48 they collected this year could pay for one of our specialist nurses to look after our inpatients for 10 days. Thank you once again.
