HOSPITAL staff raised more than £1,000 for charity on a five kilometre run.

The seven women, who all work in the outpatients department at Whips Cross Hospital, were taking part in the Race for Life event in Regents Park earlier this month.

Calling themselves the Pink Potatoes, the women were raising money for Cancer Research UK.

Pink Potato team member Lauren McCord, said: “We interact with patients on a daily basis and hearing their stories really inspired us to try and raise as much money as possible.”
