A Sidmouth woman has raised more than £1,000 while battling breast cancer.

Beth Taylor, 53, who runs Tae Kwon-Do clubs in Sidmouth and Ottery with her husband Andy, began the fundraising campaign when she was still undergoing treatment.

Beth and her husband launched their WEAR PINK campaign as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October and also held an online auction.

The pair manage to smash their £1,000 target raising £1,230.83, including gift aid, for FORCE Cancer Charity, Breast Cancer Now and The Institute of Cancer Research.

Beth said: "We weren't sure we would reach the £1,000 target at the beginning but a few more people donated items for auction.

"And friends of friends made donations.

"As we started this before I finished my treatments, I am really happy we exceeded the target.

"I wish to thank everyone who participated and supported our Wear Pink Campaign and wore pink."
