It was a huge cheque (in every sense of the word,) brought into Â鶹Éç Hereford and Worcester's Hylton Road office by Jane Nott from Roc,k that pushed Dave Bradley's (aka Bradders)Ìý tsunami appeal past its latest landmark. The cheque was for over £1,400 and the appealÌý has now raised more than £40,000. Bradders offered to shave off his 'tash if people pledge money for the tsunami appeal - hoping he could raise a couple of hundred pounds. He's been utterly overwhelmed by the response.

"All sorts of donations have been coming in, from £500 to £5, and all gratefully received of course." he commented. The shaving took place at the Worcester Warriors rugby match against Leonesse. Every penny of the money will be spent on Shelter Boxes. These go out to the disaster areas and contain just about everything for a group of ten people to survive until permanent help reaches them. The survival kits include a massive tent, water purification equipment, food, lighting, tools and a whole host of survival equipment. They are put together by the Helston Rotary Club and cost almost £500 each. |
