Trainer Gilly Hepden and owner Marian Ward dressed up as nurses to sell thousands of raffle tickets at the charity night in memory of Gilly's late kennel hand, Kathy Kirkby, at Oxford on Thursday.

Gilly, left, and MarianThe event, in aid of the McMillan nurses at Katharine House and Sobell House, raised £3,500 and they are still counting.

Every trainer played a part by sponsoring races and greyhounds.
