Fundraising Events
Charity Skydive Summer 2009
Wells and Glastonbury Young Farmers Club from Somerset have decided to have The Transverse Myelitis Society as their chosen charity for this year. The main reason is because the father of three of our members suffers from the condition. After a very informative talk by Patrick's wife, Janet Biss, we agreed that it would be worthwhile trying to raise money for the TM Society as it is not as widely supported as some other charities. To help raise money we are doing a Charity Skydive in Honiton on September 6th 2009. Total raised to date for Poole Support Group and TM Society £8394.65!!
