The idea came from pub worker Sammi Mayne whose father Sam is battling cancer.
Mr Mayne used to run the Fat Sam's beach and gift shop in Dawlish Warren, which had been in the family for 17 years. Due to ill health, he can no longer run the shop.

"I am very proud of what my family, Malcolm and his staff at the Mount Pleasant Inn have done to support me and also in raising funds for Macmillan Cancer Support."
MacMillan Cancer Support's fundraising manager Angie Lowe said: "It is people like Malcolm and his staff that make a real difference to the lives of so many affected by cancer.
"The £1,750 raised so far will go towards helping local people living with cancer like Sam."
