DRINKERS raised more than £600 to help a mother-of-three receive urgent medical treatment after a fundraising stunt with a difference.
A group of about 20 people donned their best Seventies gear and set off on a fancy dress pub crawl around Newton Aycliffe.
Richard Parker, manager of the town's Lakeside pub, dreamed up the stunt to raise cash for the Sandra Richardson Stop The Clock Campaign.
The campaign was set up earlier this year by Mrs Richardson's three daughters, Lauren, Hayley and Jonelle, to raise £20,000 for specialist treatment in Mexico.
Mrs Richardson, 51, who lives in Hartlepool, was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago and is hoping that treatment at the Oasis of Hope Hospital in Tijuana, Mexico, might help to extend her life.
The group started at the Iron Horse pub at 11am, then moved on to the Oak Tree, Aycliffe WMC, the British Legion, the Navy Club and finally the Lakeside at 3pm, where Mr Parker threw a free family fun day.
