Charity fundraiser at Dunham's Wood in March tracks in the cash for local Macmillan Cancer Support

More than £800 has been raised for Macmillan Cancer Support at a fundraising event held at Dunham’s Wood Light Railway.
Based on the outskirts of March, the miniature locomotive was running all afternoon on Sunday, July 21 to raise money for the charity.

A spokesman for the March, Chatteris and District Fundraising Committee for Macmillan, said: “It was a lovely day and there was a great turnout.

"We would like to thank all at Dunham's Wood for the opportunity to hold this charity event and everyone who came to support us. Thanks also go to the local shops, members of the public and volunteers who donated raffle prizes and a lot of the refreshments.

“We had home-made cakes on offer as well as hot and cold refreshments. Our volunteer team worked so hard to put it all together so a big thank you to them too.”

The total raised for the cancer charity was £822.39. These funds will help people in Cambridgeshire and the Fens whose lives have been affected by a cancer diagnosis. To find out about volunteering for Macmillan Cancer Support call 07801 307050.
