This year’s event organised by Robina Cameron, Lincoln Fundraising Group Chair, was no exception and raised just under £7,000 with the help of her ‘tribe’ of volunteers, family and friends.
She said: “The event is always very well supported.
“I enjoyed organising it although it does come with lots of hard work.
“The planning for the event starts straight after the last one.”

She added: “I was a Marie Curie nurses myself so it’s nice to know that the money will really make a difference locally.
“I would also like to say a huge thanks to our stand holders who of course encourage the people to come and shop”
The money raised from this year’s event has paid for a further 350 hours of night-time nursing within the county for terminal illness patients within their homes.
