Charity awareness walk

Angelina Bilton and Frankie Trumper, who both work at Wycherley’s Dental Practice on Newport High Street, will take part in The Mouth Cancer Foundation’s annual 10km awareness walk on September 29 in London’s Hyde Park.

The walk, which starts at 2 p.m., aims to raise awareness to combat all head and neck cancers and 2013 promises to be the biggest walk yet.

Mrs Bilton, head of reception and a qualified dental nurse at the practice, said the pair would like to raise more than £500 for the charity.

“We need to create more awareness about this deadly disease,” she said.

“Often the symptoms are not recognised and people die because of late detection.

“Taking part in the walk is just a small thing we can do to raise funds to help people suffering from the disease.”

Miss Trumper, 19, a trainee dental nurse and massage therapist at the practice, said she was looking forward to the walk.
