The sisters said: “We are fundraising for Cancer Research UK in order to ensure that one day, everyone diagnosed with cancer can beat it.

“Both of us have grown up with our amazing Mum working the Central England Rehabilitation Unit.

“She now runs this incredible NHS facility that cares for people suffering from an acquired brain injuries, a stroke or a brain tumour.”
