Team members at Otter Garden Centre in Ottery St Mary are rallying round with a seasonal fundraiser in memory of their colleague Rob Gillingham.
Sadly Rob, described by colleagues as a kind, lovely man, passed away from a brain tumour earlier this year.
He was well known for his annual stint as the popular Santa Express driver, ferrying families to and from the garden centre’s popular grotto.
The idea for the fundraiser came from Helen Patterson, who worked at the grotto as an elf! Helen also had a brain tumour which was removed in 2017, leaving her with a titanium plate in her skull and an eyelid that won’t open. Helen’s plan is to cycle from Exeter to the garden centre in Ottery dressed as an elf to raise money for Brain Tumour Support and Alzheimer’s Society.
