A ROUND-the-clock games marathon in a social club in Crook raised more than £750 for a cancer charity.
The end of British Summer Time meant that friends from the Croft Club had to stay awake an extra hour to complete their fundraising last weekend.
Organiser Bill Fairhurst joined 12 other team members for darts, dominoes, computer games and other challenges to support Marie Curie Cancer Care,
Linda McDonough, the charity's community fundraising manager, said: "The members of the club did a marvellous job in organising the event and managing to keep it going for a full 25 hours.
"They have raised a fantastic amount of money for Marie Curie and enjoyed taking part in the challenge."
