The organisers of Hankelow village fete raised money for two very good causes this year; Audlem First Responders and the Cheshire branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association.
Mr. Tom Bourne who lives in the village and has been living with Motor Neurone Disease since October 2001 received a cheque for £500 which represented 50% of the proceeds from the raffle.
Tom said: “On behalf of the MND Association I would like to thank the Hankelow Amenities Group committee and all those who helped with this donation.”
Debbie Ruscoe-Icke, fundraiser for AFR added: “Thank you for thinking of us. Your generous gift will allow us to maintain the medical emergency cover the Audlem First Responders provide for the local community. The money is definitely appreciated and will be put to extremely good use.”
