A NEW club set itself an unusual challenge for its first fundraising event.
Members of Darlington Interact Club, at Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, held a sponsored three-legged-walk in the town's South Park.
The club has chosen a local cancer charity for its first project, on the suggestion of a member whose neighbour had throat cancer.
Club joint president Alan Strickland said: "For our first project we thought it would be really good for the members to get closer to each other - literally. So we tied them together for a sponsored walk.
"It's a really good example of the strange things we do to raise money, while having fun at the same time."
About 20 members of the newly-formed club took part in the three-legged walk in the park, and they reckon to have raised hundreds of pounds for charity as a result.
