A THATCHAM boy has raised more than £1,000 as part of his wish to get rid of dementia.
Joseph Black pledged in February to make 1,000 origami cranes to help people with dementia, after being inspired by a Japanese legend.
Pupils at his primary school were asked to think about an activity they could do 100 times for a cause close to their hearts, following Captain Sir Tom Moore completing 100 laps of his garden for the NHS.
Joseph decided to press on to 1,000 origami birds, inspired by the senbazuru from Japanese mythology.
