Celebrities, footballers and politicians have helped a south Wales family to raise thousands of pounds for a cancer charity.
The Cantor family wanted to give something back to the Velindre centre, which has helped treat 27-year-old Justine Cantor after she was diagnosed with melanoma.
It provides services for 1.5 million people and is one of the largest centres in Britain.
Justine's sister Natasha last week launched an online campaign to encourage family and friends to make donations. Their efforts received a significant boost when brother Elliott turned to Twitter to encourage further support. He asked dozens of actors, musicians and sporting stars to forward the link to the donation page to their fans - and golfer Nick Faldo, Conservative MP Louise Mensch, Cardiff City Football Club and American-Jewish wrestler Bill Goldberg were among those who did.
