Tina from our Wolverhampton store has been holding fundraising events for Tickled Pink for years, but her next afternoon tea party will be an extra special one as it will be her first since finishing treatment for breast cancer.
Tina (pictured on the right) was diagnosed a week before Christmas last year following a routine mammogram and has since had surgery and radiotherapy treatment. She's a strong supporter of Tickled Pink, working alongside the store's community champion Angie, and often dresses up in pick tutus, wears pink wigs and has even had her head shaved to raise money. She said: "I'll be holding my next one on August 29 โand this year it's more personal. Tickled Pink is such an amazing good cause. It's been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster since I was diagnosed, I can tell you. Luckily I've had great support from Asda, my colleagues, friends and family, but I now feel privileged as I've beaten breast cancer."
Lynsey-Ann, Asda Wolverhampton's customer manager, said: "Tina's back in work with her usual bright and cheery self, no indication of the difficult few months that she has had. She's an inspiration to us all and a credit to her Asda Wolverhampton family. I admire how you never let anything dull your sparkle. We could definitely all learn from Tina."
