Abbey Telecom ramped up its fundraising campaign for Derian House Children's Hospice by taking part in a dragon boat race at Preston Marina. The crew of paddlers, which included Fylde MP Mark Menzies, finished in tenth place and raised over £2,200 for the charity.
"We've dedicated ourselves to promoting and participating in Derian House events this summer with a series of videos," said Abbey Telecom MD Tony Raynor. "But we were determined to put up a good show for the dragon boat racing day and managed to recruit over 25 paddlers for fundraising and competing.
"The team put in a stirring sprint finish in our final heat and we were within a whisker of making the final. It was a great day for everyone involved and we hope that it's given the charity a real boost."
