Cool heroes raise a beary good £451

by Lorraine Gibson.

Over the course of a week, children attending Play Sportz classes in and around the Wimborne area dressed up in their coolest superheroes outfits to raise money for a good cause.
Super by name, super by nature, they raised an amazing £451 for Macmillan’s Cancer Support, a charity close to the heart of Play Sportz’s owner and coach, David Emes.
“I have been only too aware of how many people have been affected by this dreadful disease,” says David.
“As an ex-cancer patient, I’ve had first-hand experience of just how helpful and supportive Macmillan nurses are.
“Over the last few years, a number of mums, dads and grandparents who I have got to know, through our classes, have suffered in various ways.
“Most have come out the other side but, unfortunately, we lost a mum to breast cancer last year, so the money raised is for those who have gone through this ordeal and also to remember those who have sadly left us.”
David, who joined in the fun fundraising mission by donning his own special outfit, added: “The children had a fabulous time, and a massive thank-you must go to the parents for supporting this vital cause.”
David and his very ‘deer’ friend will be back in the New Year to help raise more money for more good causes, so watch this space.
