STAFF at a Bishop Auckland travel agents completed a 13-mile walk in fancy dress to raise money for charity.
Workers at Hays Travel, in Newgate Street, raised more than £1,000 in sponsorship from the event on Sunday.
The money will go to the Mara Unit at Bishop Auckland Hospital to buy scalp cooling equipment to help cancer sufferers. It will be used after undergoing chemotherapy to try to reduce hair loss.
Staff nominated the ward as their charity of the year after a friend told them of her treatment there.
Costumes for the walk were donated by the Party Pieces fancy dress shop, in Newgate Street.
Hays manager Denise Millward said: "A friend came in and asked if we could help towards raising funds for the unit.
"We got together and thought of a few ideas and the fancy dress walk was what we decided to do."
