Jan said: “I devised the original duck race so I knew if it was fun and for a good cause people would get involved so I thought I’d try again to get Hebden Bridge involved, I just went into shops telling them what I wanted, to dress their shop windows Pink, and take a collection box for the month of October which is Best Cancer Awareness month.”

Seasontech Limited have donated £100 for the best dressed window, which was announced to be Fleur De Lys.
