MORE than 100 young people pushed themselves to the limits to raise cash for a fund in memory of murdered student Sara Cameron.

Finnish-born Ms Cameron, 23, was killed as she made her way home from a party. Her body was found in a field in Earsdon, near Whitley Bay, North Tyneside, on Good Friday, April 21, 2000. She had been attacked as she walked home from Shiremoor Metro station and suffocated - days before she was due to fly to Australia to sit on the Sydney Olympic Committee as part of her degree course at Northumbria University, in Newcastle.

Students at the university were put through their paces in a series of physical challenges, raising more than £1,000 for the Sara Cameron Memorial Fund. The fund helps sponsor a foreign student for a year on the sport management course.

Sara's father, Roy, presented prizes to the winners.

Joint organiser Andy Mitchelmore said: "It was a really good day and the support we had was absolutely superb."
