MORE than £20,000 was raised for the Rosemere Cancer Foundation and cardiac rehabilitation charity, Heartbeat.
A gala dinner was held at Blackburn Rovers' Ewood Park and around 320 guests attended.
Rosemere Cancer Foundation will put its share towards its 20 Years Anniversary Appeal, which is funding a trio of ground-breaking projects celebrating the 20th anniversary of the opening of Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust’s Rosemere Cancer Centre at the Royal Preston Hospital.
The centre is Lancashire and South Cumbria’s regional specialist cancer treatment centre.
It provides all local radiotherapy treatment, specialist diagnostic services and surgery, complex chemotherapy and other highly specialised care.
Heartbeat provides free exercise classes to people who have had heart attacks or have heart problems.
