A Northamptonshire mum with incurable cancer has seen her peg doll "angels" go viral. When in her courageous battle with illness, she had no idea what she was about to unleash.
Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life, in partnership with headline sponsor Standard Life, is an inspiring series of 3k, 5k, 10k, Pretty Muddy and Pretty Muddy Kids events - which raise millions of pounds every year to help beat cancer by funding crucial research. Her last hope is a six-month course of chemotherapy that has just ended. Sophie, 53, said she hoped the dolls would boost the fundraising campaign she began in December named "Yeah But No Butt".
“I thought fundraising would be a good idea, so I looked at some Christmas decorations and what emerged was a little angel that reminded me of Sophie, beautiful and smiling and with her arms out ready to give everybody a hug.
