DINNER for two at Gordon Ramsay's Claridge's restaurant is one of the prizes in a fundraising Christmas raffle, organised by staff and volunteers at the holistic cancer care centre in the grounds of Middlesbrough's James Cook University Hospital.
It is hoped that £51,000 can be raised in two months. The restaurant prize was organised with the help of one of the centre's patrons, hotelier Eugene McCoy.
The first prize also includes first class rail travel to London and overnight accommodation.
Volunteer Jeff Metcalfe said: "We're pulling out the stops for this raffle and hope to sell 51,000 tickets. We're three quarters of the way to reaching our £1m target thanks to the commitment and generosity of people."
The centre provides a full range of complementary therapies for patients from the hospital's radiotherapy department.
Tickets for the raffle, costing £1 each, are available from the centre on (01642) 854839.
