Two members of staff at the Solihull-based Secure Trust Bank spent more than seven hours raising more than £1,800 for breast cancer when they took part in the annual 26 mile Moonwalk in London.

Anne Mckenning and Lauren Benson completed the course, despite Ms Benson, one of the bank’s human resources team, falling and fracturing her arm.

She said: “I wouldn’t have minded but I’d just passed comedienne, Jennifer Saunders, when I lost my footing and fell. It wasn’t as though I was star-struck however I did see stars.

“I carried on with the walk since I wanted to do my bit for such a great cause.”
