News / Motorbike raffle raises nearly £4,000 for Mind Your Head
A FUNDRAISING drive by an isles woman which included raffling off her late father’s motorbike has raised nearly £4,000 for Mind Your Head.
Richelle Fraser gave away the bike at the Simmer Dim Rally in Ollaberry at the weekend – an event her dad Stewart was well-known for attending.
The raffle, which included other prizes like trips away and vouchers, raised a total of £3,903.91. The bike was won by Amanda Brown.
Richelle, who came back to Shetland to attend the rally, said it was an “utterly humbling experience”.
She decided to raise money for mental health charity Mind Your Head after her dad passed away last year.
