A WOMAN who lost her husband to lung cancer has helped raise £1,000 for a Bishop Auckland appeal fund.
Marion Johnson, whose husband, William, died in September last year following a short battle with lung cancer, raised the money by organising a social evening.
A raffle, supper and performances by three singers during the evening, held at the Green Tree pub, in Howden-le-Wear, raised £1,000 for the Bishop Auckland Lung Cancer Trust Fund.
Mrs Johnson said: "After my husband died I wanted to do something for the nurses and staff that looked after him.
"The evening was absolutely brilliant and I'd like to thank the singers Sean King, Cara Morgan and Rebecca, as well as Bob Emmerson from the Green Tree pub and all my friends and family who helped."
