STUDENTS pulled together to raise funds for a charity that helped one of their teachers to beat cancer.

Pupils at Northallerton College took part in a host of sponsored sports events including tug-of-war, frisbee, five-a-side football, tennis and inter-form activities to collect £200 for the Trinity Holistic Centre.

The centre, based at the James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough, supports cancer patients with a variety of therapies.

PE teacher Alastair Macrae praised the work of the charity that cared for him after he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2007.
