Kate Christopher, back right, of Northallerton's Black Swan MS Group presents a cheque for £1,740 to Alan Riddiough, left, and Alan Sharp of the multiple sclerosis therapy centre in Middlesbrough.

The cash was raised during 2001 with £1,000 coming from the group's domino drives. A further £400 came from a horticultural show and the remaining £340 was donated by the North East VW Club.

Centre members were present as Kate thanked everyone who had supported the club during the year
