Little Lifts has launched a year-long challenge which will see it striving to raise £10,000.

The charity launched its Ten for Ten Challenge this week, to extend its work in East Anglian hospitals.

Little Lifts already provides support to breast cancer patients in ten hospitals, distributing boxes filled with uplifting items.

It was founded by Oa Hackett, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014, at the age of 28.

Three years later, while recovering from treatment, she set up the charity.

Its latest campaign marks ten years since her diagnosis.

“I wanted to mark this milestone by raising awareness and to celebrate all that Little Lifts has achieved during this time," she said.

"Fundraising activities are often challenges, as they convey the level of resilience a person facing cancer may have to endure.

"That’s why a series of little (and not so little) challenges felt like the best fit for this fundraiser."

The Ten for Ten Challenge consists of ten different events.

The first of these was the Big Dip in Cold Water, which has already been completed. The next event is a 10k trail run this Sunday.

After this there are various walks, runs, packing parties and more.
