STAFF at a travel company are aiming to raise thousands of pounds for a cancer centre.

The team from Hays Travel in Northallerton is supporting the new Sir Robert Ogden Cancer Centre being built at the town's Friarage Hospital by pledging to raise £2,500.

Earlier this month staff completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge, and on Sunday, August 12, they will do a skydive.

The team's Justgiving fundraising page states: "Almost half of us will get cancer, and we need your help to make sure that people get the support they need to face one of the toughest fights of their lives.

"Help us reach our fundraising target this year and make a real difference to this community."
