Cancer is sadly something which is likely to affect most families across East Lancashire in some way.
Perhaps that explains why fund-raising for cancer charities has been so prevalent in the area.
Here we have been back into the archive to bring together a selection of photos which show some of the many groups and activities which have helped raise much needed funds for research into the disease.
Perhaps you are one one of the photos or you might recognise someone who is.
