Danny Walsh Memorial Day raises £2,800 for air ambulance

A football match in memory of Grantham father Danny Walsh has raised £2,805 for Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance.

The Daniel Walsh Memorial Day was held at Harrowby United Football Club and saw the Longnecks take on The Breathers, with the Longnecks the eventual winners by 7-3.

The match was followed by a big raffle, music and entertainment through the day and night. On the following day at the Three Gables, another fun-filled day was held with raffle prizes, live music, and a barbecue. Both events raised a total of £2805.16 for the ambucopter charity.

Mick Fox raised a further £885 with a sponsored cycle ride around the Lincolnshire border, covering 280 miles.

One of the organisers, Trevor Fox, said: "The family of Daniel would like to thank everyone involved last weekend. It was a brilliant day at the Harrowby club."
