STAFF and customers at Colchester’s Asda supermarket have raised money for a terminally ill boy.

The store, in Petrolea Close, collected £1,400 for Kenzie Cackett, four, from Clacton, who has cancer.

He had pioneering treatment in the USA for a brain tumour last year, but the disease has spread to his spine, paralysing him from the waist down.

He is being cared for at the East Anglian Children’s Hospice in Ipswich.

Vicky Voyce, Asda’s community campaign manager, said: “We gave ourselves a week to raise as much as possible with as much silliness as possible.

“The men were having their legs waxed and we got dressed up. The response from staff and customers has been amazing, it just shows what you can do when then public gets behind you.”
