QUIZZING FOR CHARITY

Quiz nights at the Fox and Coney Inn, South Cave, are benefitting charities, both local and national. £500 has just been donated to the Willow Foundation, set up by goalkeeper Bob Wilson after his daughter Anna died of cancer at the age of just 31.

The Willow Foundation provides "special days" for those living with conditions like cancer, motor neurone disease, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy and organ failure.

The quizzes are hosted by Rod Arnold, himself a former goalkeeper, who has worked with Bob Wilson at his coaching school.

"It's great to be able to support the Willow Foundation in this way. Anna was a lovely girl and the charity provides a welcome distraction from hospital treatments. To date, it has already provided more than 7000 special days for seriously ill young people."
