MORE than £6,000 was raised for the Anthony Nolan Trust when the It's A Knockout Challenge returned to Therfield Heath on Sunday.
Twenty-three teams took part in a range of inflatable challenges which raised money to help the work of finding donors for patients in need of bone marrow transplants.
Organiser Christine Brown said: "It was a fantastic success, and we feel next year will be even bigger and better.
"It was a great family fun day. There was something for everyone - from children's rides to a beer festival.
"I would like to thank all the local businesses who supported the event."
The money raised will enable the charity to register more donors, which costs £70 each.
