MARTINS Cash and Carry held a three-day event to raise money for Breast Cancer Now last week.

Instead of holding it on Breast Cancer Now’s ‘Wear it Pink’ day, the firm, which is based on Pennygillam Industrial Estate in Launceston, decided to run it over three consecutive days, starting on Wednesday.

Team manager, Katie Martin, said: “It went really well. All the staff wore pink and we raised £480 through a raffle and a cake sale.

“Everyone really enjoyed it and the customers’ generosity has been amazing, we’ve been blown away by the support.”

Looking forward, Katie added: “We’re going to try and do as many of these as we can. We can’t get over how much support we’ve had from everyone.

“I’d like to say a big thank you to all the customers as well as all the members of staff for being such a good team.”
