TWO lucky winners of a challenge to find out how far a supermarket manager walks round the store in a week will soon be enjoying bags full of free groceries.
Sue Neville and Linda Woods, of Kidderminster, bought tickets to support Kemp Hospice and Cancer Research UK because they had both lost family members to the disease.
Mrs Neville, of St John's Close, was spot on when she estimated that Tesco customer services manager, Barbara Ward, would trek 33 miles exactly, up and down the aisles of the town's Tesco store.
Her accurate guess won her £100 worth of Tesco vouchers in the challenge, which raised £500, to be divided between the cancer charity and Kemp Hospice.
The runner- up prize of £50 worth of vouchers went to Mrs Woods, of Whittall Drive East, who lost her 56-year-old husband, Raymond, to cancer two years ago.
His brother and father also died from the disease and Mrs Woods said it was thanks to research that a test had been devised which had given the rest of the family the peace of mind that they would not develop the same hereditary form of cancer.
Mrs Neville, whose grandfather and uncle also died from cancer, said: "When I bought the ticket I was thinking of a friend who had just lost her mum to cancer, as well as her dad a couple of years earlier. It was a very pleasant surprise to hear I had won."
