In June 2013 Verwood Fundraising Committee is celebrating raising £100,000 for Cancer Research UK.

Members of the Committee have raised the money over the years through coffee mornings, beetle drives, open gardens and fashion shows.

Penny Woodman, Cancer Research UK’s Area Volunteer Manager for the South West said:  “I would like to thank Verwood Committee for the fantastic amount they have raised and the massive contribution they have made to our vital work.

“Cancer Research UK has made enormous progress in the fight against cancer and continues to do so. However, we have only been able to do this thanks to the dedication and commitment of our volunteers and supporters without whom we would not be able to fund our vital research.”

Shirley Grange, Chairman of Verwood Committee, said “I would like to thank the generous nature of the people from Verwood who have always been very supportive of the work that we do, and are the main reason that we have been so successful in raising this amazing sum of money. But our work doesn’t stop here as there is still more research to fund so that we can save more lives. We are now keen to raise our next £100,000.
