“I thought I may as well go for it.
“I really hope I will be able to raise at least £500 and anything over that would be fantastic. It is such a worthwhile cause.”
Mrs Tovell, who has worked for Tesco for some 23 years, admitted the nerves were beginning to set in.
“I didn’t really think about it at first. I am excited, but I am starting to get a little bit nervous now,” she said.
