Donation thanks after successful balloon race

Following our successful virtual balloon race over Xmas we have received these messages from the charities we have supported.


Following our successful virtual balloon race over Xmas we have received these messages from the charities we have supported.

Yorkshire Cancer Research told us:

Yorkshire Cancer Research is a charity dedicated to funding research so that you and those you love live longer, healthier lives. Our aim is for at least 2000 more people to survive cancer in Yorkshire every year.

We are extremely grateful to everyone who supported Denby Dale & District Rotary Club's virtual balloon race. The money raised will help fund experts and world-leading researchers who pioneer early cancer diagnosis and discover new and better treatments for people with cancer.

And we have also heard from Dementia UK saying:

A huge thank you to the Denby Dale and District Rotary Club from all of us here at Dementia UK for holding your virtual balloon race. How did it go? £350.00 is incredible and could cover the telephone costs of 100 families calling our free Helpline, whenever they need support – so thank you!

All the money you've raised will help our dementia specialist nurses be a lifeline to families who are struggling to cope with the relentless pressures of caring for a loved one with dementia. Thank you so much. The more money wonderful supporters like you raise, the more nurses we're able to fund and the more families we can help in their time of need.
