A mum who lost her husband to lymphoma has launched a fundraiser for children to enjoy while they are stuck in lockdown. Susan Hartley, 54, a yoga teacher from Bury, started the "leap for lymphoma" campaign after her husband Paul passed away in 2019 at the age of 53.

Her event was due to be rolled out in schools across the region but due to the spread of coronavirus, Susan is encouraging people to do it virtually at home.

The initiative encourages families to jump or "leap" 27 times, to raise awareness that someone is diagnosed with blood cancer every 27 minutes in the UK.

Families are encouraged to film themselves doing the challenge, while donating one pound to Lymphoma Action - a charity close to Susan's heart.
