A businesswoman will donate five per cent of all her profits for a month to two cancer charities.

Tracy Chapman, of Weaverthorpe near Malton, heads Yorkshire Wolds Photography, which runs photography courses and sells her prints.

She was diagnosed with breast cancer ten years ago, and she made the profits vow for October, which has been declared Breast Cancer Awareness Month, She said: “I have met many amazing patients over the past ten years through my own cancer journey and unfortunately I have lost friends to this terrible disease. I have created the two limited edition prints to help raise awareness of breast cancer and to raise money for two important charities”.

The money will go to Cancer Research UK and St Catherine’s Hospice in Scarborough.
