PUPILS held a day of events to raise money for a boy with cerebral palsy to have the trip of a lifetime.
Pupils at Hurworth School, near Darlington, raised £717 through a non-uniform day and a dance through the decades competition.
The money was raised to help nine-year-old Liam Rogan, from Northallerton, who has suffered from cerebral palsy from birth.
His parents want to send him and twin brother, Matt, on a £6,000 holiday to Disneyland Florida to swim with dolphins. June Rogan, Liam's mother, said: "It's fantastic, and will do so much to help us. We are doing well with the fundraising, and a very generous man from Richmond has said we can stay in his villa in Florida to save our accommodation costs."
The family have so far raised more than half the amount, but are still appealing for donations.
To help, call Mr and Mrs Rogan on (01609) 761582.
