THE Marie Curie Cancer Care charity has praised the generosity of County Durham people who dug deep to support its 2001 Daffodil Campaign.
The most raised was £1,680 in Durham City, where the fundraising was supported by Pittington Brass Band and the Durham Rams Morris Men.
People in Darlington gave £642, a collection in Chester-le-Street netted £280, Barnard Castle raised £480 and Bishop Auckland and Willington together raised £196.
Community fundraiser Carol Oliver said: "Many thanks go to all our local volunteers who braved all sorts of weather to sell the silk daffodils through street and supermarket collections. Thanks also go to the very generous people in the area who have supported Marie Curie Cancer Care again."
