Cranford Hospice general manager Helen Blaxland said she was still coming to terms, in a delighted way, with the numbers on the cheque she was handed in the wake of the 2014 Hospice Holly Trail staged this month.
A cheque for $250,000 was the result of the event which is staged every two years and specifically to raise much-needed funding for the hospice.
"The sum is totally amazing and every time they hold it this wonderful committee raises the bar."
Mrs Blaxland said the 2012 event had been a stand-out through raising $220,000.
"This time they've come up with $30,000 more."
