At the launch of his Sit-out last December, John Dalzell OBE promised to do “whatever it took in these difficult times” to raise as much money as possible for the Hospice in a year where most of their events were cancelled.
True to his word, John and his Sit-out team worked tirelessly for two weeks in the run-up to Christmas.
And together they raised an astonishing £141,000 for their local hospice.
Handing the amazing cheque over to the Hospice, John said, “I cannot thank enough everyone who donated.
“I think it is a testament to the kindness of local people and businesses that despite all that we faced last year, we came together and raised this incredible amount of money – the largest amount ever, for our Hospice.
“Why can’t we just ignore personal character, as long as a person does the job?’” asked evangelist Billy Graham rhetorically in his 1999 autobiography, “Just as I Am.”
