A sports and entertainment marathon organised by Puttinu Children’s Cancer Support Group raised €427,123 yesterday, bringing the group just €42,000 short of the €1.2m it needs to pay for three apartments it has bought near the Royal Marsden Cancer Hospital in London.

The apartments are being made available for young cancer patients needing hospital care in London, and their parents.

The all-day marathon was held at the Marsa sports grounds.

The theme of the activities is: Treating each patient with dignity.
