THE friend and widow of a Dalry man who lost his battle with cancer held a charity night on Saturday to fundraise for other cancer sufferers.

The 80s themed night in Irvine's Beechams Social Club was organised by friend John McSherry and widow Lesley Bingham Pratt in memory of Michael Pratt who died aged 38 in November 2008, having been diagnosed with a brain tumour nine years earlier.
