Former Mayor of Lancaster and Green Party Councillor Abi Mills has once again demonstrated her generosity and community spirit by raising nearly £1,000 for CancerCare North Lancashire and South Cumbria.

Councillor Mills completed the iconic Cross Bay Walk this month alongside family and friends, including her son, fellow Councillor Hamish Mills, and raised nearly £1,000 for CancerCare North Lancashire and South Cumbria.

The Cross Bay Walk, a celebrated and challenging trek across the sands of Morecambe Bay, is no small undertaking. But for Abi, the effort was driven by something deeply personal.

"I am so grateful for all the support and donations received for CancerCare," Abi said. "It is an amazing local charity that is very close to my heart. I have received support from CancerCare for over two years, since being diagnosed with cancer. Without CancerCare, my journey would have been much darker."

Abi's fundraising contribution will help ensure those vital services continue to reach people at their most vulnerable.

This latest achievement adds to an already extraordinary record of charitable fundraising.

During her time as Mayor of Lancaster, Abi raised an incredible £38,000 for Citizens Advice North Lancashire, a local charity she continues to support as a volunteer.

Citizens Advice North Lancashire offers free, confidential advice on benefits, employment, debt, housing and more, with offices in both Lancaster and Morecambe.
