AN author is helping to fund two more Macmillan nurses, with the sale of her third book.

Jean Kendall, 69, from Hurworth, spent months writing the book, The Women In My Life, which covers a century of her family's life.

Her last two books raised money for Hurworth's Grange Community Centre, and for disabled residents living at Rockcliffe Court in the village.

Her latest book is available from Ottakar's in Darlington, Hurworth and Croft post offices and Waterstones in Durham, and costs £3.

The appeal aims to raise £600,000. For more information call (0191) 3781188.
