On behalf of both our charities and its members we wish to record a sincere thank you to the two young ladies, Amy Davies and Nia Kamellaki, who organised and held a fundraising event at Burton Bradstock to benefit our charities as reported in the Echo of April 11.

We had the pleasure of meeting Amy and Nia on Good Friday morning to receive the proceeds of their fundraising – nearly £370 for each of our charities.

These young ladies are a credit to their families, their school, their community and today’s youth.

Thank you again Amy and Nia and we wish you every success for your futures.

Graham Watts, MS Society South West Dorset Branch Chairman Shirley Stains, Secretary West Dorset Support Group Diabetes UK
