A CANCER sufferer who set up a website to help a charity has been rewarded for his efforts by The Northern Echo.
Norman Smith, who has prostate cancer, created the site at www.communigate.co.uk/ne/colac/-for A Celebration of Life After Cancer. It has been chosen as December's Pick of the Month by the CommuniGate team.
Mr Smith, 63, of Carroll Road, Darlington, wins a set of digital binoculars, provided by sponsors Sales and Marketing Services, Darlington.
A Celebration of Life after Cancer was established in 1999 to promote awareness of cancer and help sufferers and has raised more than £100,000 with a series of events.
Details of its forthcoming fashion shows at the Tall Trees, in Yarm, near Middlesbrough, on April 27 and 28 can be found on the website, as well as a directory of local cancer support groups.
Mr Smith said: "I have had cancer for about six years and doing this website has been excellent. It's really good helping other people and making them aware of what support is available."
