Members of the Whalley aerobics group sweated it out for charity by taking part in a four-hour sponsored aerobathon that raised £3,004 for Cancer Research UK.

The women, who normally meet on a Wednesday night in the village hall, were put through their paces by group instructor Tracy Baines at the venue.

Tracy, 37, said: "The aerobathon was something we all wanted to do and we decided to get together and raise the money for a good cause."
