Kilsby businesswoman helps cancer patients in honour of friends and family who are fighting the disease or lost their lives

A Kilsby businesswoman is raising money to help people with cancer through the sale of her health and beauty products.

Marie Davis is donating a percentage of sales from her favourite product in honour of those who are fighting the disease.

She has also lost friends and family to cancer and herself had a scare a few years back.

Marie said: “I’ve always had a passion for helping others and I wanted to do something for a cancer charity this year.

“Many of my friends have fought or are fighting some form of cancer - some sadly are no longer with us. I myself have had a scare a few years back, so I would like to donate to Cancer Research UK which I think is an amazing cause. Without research we can't develop a cure for this awful disease.”

Marie originally wanted to do geriatric nursing, but her career took a different turn.
