THE Bolton Coronary Care Appeal -- the Bolton Evening News's charity for 2002 -- is attempting to raise £1 million for a bigger 10-bed heart unit at the Royal Bolton Hospital.

The total raised in just a week already stands at more than £350,000.

Firms, schools and people in the community are asked to join the campaign to build a better, healthier future for the town.
