Pupils at Plymouth College Preparatory School have raised £250 for the Father Abraham Trust. The Trust for the Motor Neurone Disease Association was set up by Simon Adams after he was diagnosed with the disease in 2009. He pledged to raise £1 million for the charity.
Although Simon died in October last year, his widow, Maxine, has continued fund-raising and was presented with the cheque by Freddie and Flossie Postle-Hacon in a special assembly. The school raised the money at a series of school shows and concerts.
"We are really pleased to be supporting this worthy cause", said Plymouth College Preparatory School Headmaster, Chris Gatherer. "Simon had a lot of connections with Plymouth College and he visited the Prep School in 2010 to hear the children sing his favourite song, Father Abraham, in a sponsored sing. We are keen to continue our support and do what we can to help the Father Abraham Trust reach its £1 million target."
