Dedicated Fundraiser’s Latest Event Raises Over £4000

A dedicated Market Harborough fundraiser is thanking all who took part and supported her latest event.

The 13-mile sponsored walk in and around the town raised over £4,200 for the Harborough District Children and Young People’s Charity.

Some people donned fancy dress for the fundraiser organised by Carol Tilley, who has held the annual event for a different cause for nearly 50 years.

The event was supported by the Admiral Nelson pub and also included a big raffle.

Carol told HFM she was delighted with the amount raised:
