Stamford charity music quiz at the Danish Invader raises four-figure sum for Societi - the UK Kawasaki Disease Foundation




A fundraising music quiz held in memory of a toddler has raised more than £1,000.

The event was held at a packed Danish Invader on Friday for Societi - the UK Kawsaki Disease Foundation as 21 tables of quizzers answered rounds of questions set by Lee Ketteringham.

Lee was moved to stage his first public quiz by Tommy Rodgers who lost his life to the little-known condition earlier this year.

Boosted by a prize raffle, the night raised £1,049.

“We had a wonderful night,” said Lee.

“We ran out of raffle tickets and had to borrow more from the landlord. It was hectic but amazing, and everyone enjoyed themselves.”
