THE Daisy Appeal has launched a "Scan for Life" campaign to raise £3m for a state-of-the-art digital PET-CT scanner at Castle Hill Hospital.

Building on the huge success of engaging sculpture trail A Mischief of Rats, the charity has introduced three illustrated rat characters who will drive awareness and fundraising for this life-changing technology.

The campaign stars Daisy Rat, who charmed communities during the sculpture trail in real life, alongside two new characters - Scientist Rat and Scanner Rat - who have yet to be named. Everyone is invited to get involved by entering the fun competition to name them.
