SUPPORT group members had a ball to help raise money for a national research appeal.
The Darlington Coronary Support Group held a social event in September when members collected £800 towards the British Heart Foundation's (BHF) Mending Broken Hearts appeal.
The group normally has an event every month, which includes a speaker, but in September it organised a bash, with stalls, to help towards the £50m target.
Former chairman and current member Peter Walley said: "It is absolutely brilliant to raise this money for a very worthwhile cause."
President Gordon Wilcock and treasurer Doreen Edgar presented a cheque to BHF's Fiona Turner and Kevin Fitzpatrick earlier this week.
The Mending Broken Hearts appeal is funding groundbreaking research within a decade into damage in heart muscles following heart attacks.
