£115,000 raised for children of couple who died of cancer .

The children of a terminally ill couple who died of cancer within days of each other have said they are “overwhelmed” after more than £100,000 was raised for them.

The money flooded in after the children of Julie and Mike Bennet, from Wirral, released a photograph of their parents holding hands on their deathbeds.

The picture was taken hours before Mike Bennet died last Monday from a brain tumour. His wife, Julie, died on Saturday night at the same Merseyside hospice.

More than £115,000 had been raised on Monday morning for the couple’s three children – Oliver, 13, Hannah, 18, and Luke, 21 – by 5,370 members of the public on a JustGiving page set up to help them “continue to live at home and sustain their activities and studies”.

Donations flooded in after the children of Julie and Mike Bennet released a photograph of their parents holding hands on their deathbeds.
