TWO hospital workers have won a VIP trip to the Commonwealth Games.

Staff at Middleton St George Hospital and Care Homes, near Darlington, took part in a raffle to win the chance of attending the games in Manchester.

Assistant management accountant Ian Jamieson and medical secretary Diana Butterfield won the prize and will be watching some of the world's top athletes from their own executive box.

The proceeds of the raffle were donated to a team of women from the Middleton St George Hospital who took part in the Race for Life in Darlington's South Park.

The race was held to raise money for Cancer Research UK and the charity will receive all the money raised from the raffle.
