Blackpool Tower turns purple for pancreatic cancer
and live on Freeview channel 276
A loving daughter has arranged for Blackpool Tower to turn purple tonight in memory of her mum.
Fiona Campbell, 39, used to visit the resort every year with mother, Linda Campbell, who died of Pancreatic Cancer in December 2019.
She hopes it will raise awareness of the disease.

Pancreatic Cancer has a low survival rate of just 7%. Half of people diagnosed die within 3 months.
