SUPERMARKET staff and customers have raised more than £2,000 for a four-year-old girl suffering with a brain tumour.
Megan Armstrong was diagnosed with a tumour a third the size of her brain when she was only 14 months old.
She then underwent 13 months of unsuccessful chemotherapy, followed by six weeks of daily radiotherapy. The tumour is malignant and cannot be operated on.
Her family launched the Megan Armstrong Cancer Appeal in August 2002 to raise funds to pay for her to have treatment elsewhere in the world if the treatment she received locally failed.
Staff at the Safeway store in Stokesley, North Yorkshire, where her father, Philip, is the manager, have raised more than £2,000.
Chris Phillips and Cheryl Grey, who have since left the company, completed the 2004 Great North Run and raised the £2,000 in sponsorship from staff and customers.
Mr Armstrong expressed the family's thanks.
"We have been truly overwhelmed by their generosity and kindness," he said.
