University of York Netball Club
THE University of York Netball Club has raised £1,040 for skin cancer research by hosting a charity netball tournament on campus.
The sporty fundraiser was held in memory of team member Tanya Hill’s mother, who sadly passed away from metastatic melanoma almost three years ago.
Tanya said: “The president of the club, Jess Boakye, came to me in the summer asking if we could raise money in honour of my mum, of course I happily said yes. It’s great to know that we are raising money for skin cancer research to help others in the future.”
The team also organised a joint fundraising charity dinner the day after the match, along with the University of York Rugby Team who were also raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
