ON behalf of my daughter, Laura, whose illness problems you featured a year ago (LET, December 21), I would sincerely like to thank Mr Mike Leighton and the rest of the team at Holy Trinity CE School, Darwen, who raised £350 for her by taking part in the Great North Run half-marathon and also all the people who sponsored them.

Their support over the last 12 difficult months has been brilliant.

PETER GRAHAM, Sunnybank Street, Darwen.
