Diane Boothby delighted as Fendick’s Fishery team helps raise money for Target Ovarian Cancer
A cold water dive, chest wax and spicy food challenge have raised a fantastic amount for a worthy cause.
Diane Boothby, who lives in Downham, has raised thousands for for the charity Target Ovarian Cancer since being diagnosed with the disease herself.
She recently visited parliament with South West Norfolk MP Liz Truss to raise more awareness of the condition.
Now, she has teamed up with Whittington-based Fendick’s Fishery at Hubbles, which is a fishery and holiday park.
Staff supported Target Ovarian Cancer for the month of March, which is ovarian cancer awareness month, and April.
Tom Sharman, who is a regular fisher at the park, took part in various challenges to raise plenty of money for the charity.
He dived into a cold lake, ate a red hot chilli and had his chest waxed, while owners John Webb and Paddy McGuirk sponsored him and donated to the cause.
In total, a brilliant £1,296.74 was raised.
Diane said: “I would love to thank Tom and everyone at Fendick’s Fishery for their amazing support helping me to raise vital funds - and also vital awareness.”
