THE mother of a man who lost his battle with leukaemia, aged 26, has raised �3,000 for charity by organising a sponsored walk in his memory.

Darren Hall, who lived in a flat in Stevenage town centre with his wife, Holly, died in May 2005 - a year after he was diagnosed with leukaemia.

Darren's mother, Angela Minett, of Briardale in Stevenage, organised a walk of 10 bridges in London this month, to raise money for Leukaemia Research.

She said Darren, who went to The Thomas Alleyne School in Stevenage, knew a lot of people.

More than 60 of his friends and family joined together to remember him on the walk, which started from Westminister Bridge and finished at Tower Bridge.

Angela said: "I wanted to raise as much as I could for Leukaemia Research.

"It was a very good day - there was a lot of interest and support.

"It was a nice way of remembering Darren and raising money for Leukaemia Research."

Angela is also planning a Seventies disco and a buffet on October 3, in aid of Leukaemia Research.

Tickets at �7, which include a strip of raffle tickets, go on sale on July 1.

They can be purchased by calling Angela on 01438 743101 or by emailing her at angela_minett@live.co.uk
