FAMILY, friends and neighbours raised £850 for the Motor Neurone Association at a "Hat and Chat" garden party at Harvelin Park, Todmorden, with good weather adding to an enjoyable afternoon.
In addition £285 was pledged in sponsorship for a Sahara trek to be undertaken inn November by brothers Neil and Matthew Priestley. Matthew and Neil hope to raise more than £4,500, which will help support people suffering from Motor Neurone Disease and help fund further research into causes and treatments for the disease.
Further fundraising is planned on July 8 when a golf day is being organised at Todmorden Golf Club. There will be a buffet, followed by a sports auction which includes executive seats for both a Manchester United FC match and a Burnley FC game.
Anyone wishing to find out more about the trek to add their support or sponsorship should ring Ann on 01706 814202.
