'It means a lot to students to raise as much money for the Big C as possible, they see it as a way of giving back to the local community.'

Dr Chris Bushby, CEO at Big C, said: 'It never ceases to amaze me what can be achieved with a wheelbarrow and a ton of imagination!

'The support shown by the students is overwhelming and their contribution makes a very significant difference to the 22 people that every day are diagnosed with cancer across Norfolk and Waveney.'
