The DSI Charity Dartathon Fundraising Update.
On the 9th of May our squad of volunteers took on the challenge of a 12 hour Dartathon in aid of The North Devon Children’s Holiday Foundation, a wonderful charity taking terminally ill children on the holiday of a lifetime.
It was a brilliant day – the atmosphere was great with lots of laughs along the way. We even saw a fair few 180’s with Paul Higgins and Si Larkworthy on 4 a piece, Chris Wharton and Kev Beer hit 2 each and Tom Hammond, Chris Wildern, Terry England and Dave Lee also joined the 180 club.
The founder, Robin Buckland joined us for breakfast before the day started and shared with us some personal stories of some of the children that they have helped over the years. It was truly moving and so inspiriting to learn what a difference these trips have made to their young lives who have already been through so much.
With most monies now collected and added to the grand total, I am pleased to share, with your generosity we have raised a massive £2549!!!
