HOSPITAL workers raised more than £780 for cancer charities at Darlington's Race for Life event.
Female staff from Middleton St George Hospital and Care Homes, near Darlington, took part in the five kilometre event in the town's South Park.
It was one of 100 events held across the UK in aid of Cancer Research UK, which hopes to raise a total of £12m for the charity's work.
Team member Dianne Clark said: "We decided that it would be an excellent idea for some of the female staff to get together and have some fun, as well as raising funds for an excellent cause. Luckily, it was a really nice day and everyone finished the race without too much trouble. We were delighted with the amount of money we raised.
