Store manager Maggie Fearon added: “We are really proud of Linda for putting herself forward for this amazing challenge. She’s already had great support from generous colleagues and customers, and we hope she raises even more money!”
SuperValu has a long-standing partnership with Action Cancer, with kind customers and colleagues helping to raise £3.2 million for the charity to date.
The Big Bus provides life-saving breast screening services to women aged 40 to 49 and 70 plus (outside of NHS screening age) and MOT health checks to men and women aged 16 and over. Money raised by Linda, will help keep the Big Bus on the road.
