An inspirational woman from Wisbech has raised more than £800 for charity after making a giant ball out of loom bands.

Jade Farm, 27, who is visually impaired, spent 18 months creating the piece in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

Jade asked for sponsorship online and received support from the Wisbech Community Chest Facebook group.

The ball was unravelled at last year’s Wisbech Rock Festival and measured 3306 ft in total.

Councillor Steve Tierney, assisted by brothers Thomas and Alexander Porter of Four Feathers Baden Powell Scouts, conducted a collection at the event and boosted the total by £248.

Last week Jade was joined by Community Chest members to present the cheque of £887 to Macmillan representatives.

An emotional exchange took place as the charity explained that Jade’s donation would go on to help with health care, information and financial support for those affected by cancer.
