A WOMAN planning a charity event in support of her sick father is appealing for donations of raffle prizes.

Kimberley Gilmour, of Firthmoor Crescent, Darlington, is hosting a Halloween-themed event for family and friends in October.

The 23-year-old hopes to raise £400 for Cancer Research UK.

She was inspired to fundraise for the charity after the support it offered her father, Barry Smith, who is battling lung cancer.

Anyone who can offer raffle prizes is asked to call Mrs Gilmour on 07557-143-740.
