A FANTASTIC total of £4,016 was raised during a charity auction at the Falcon Hotel, Bude as a final fundraising event for the 'Three Peaks Row' on Friday, November 18.

Raising much needed funds for the Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust, the Devon Air Ambulance Trust, Help for Heroes and the RNLI, the amount now raised by the Three Peaks Row team — who completed the epic trip earlier this year — is £24,016.

Team member Liam Sharpe said: "Local businesses have been extremely supportive of the Three Peaks Row and the charity auction, we had some amazing items to auction (too many to name) a great auctioneer Phil Walters and very generous people attending the event. Our thanks goes to all the businesses who donated items and a special thanks goes to the Falcon Hotel for providing the venue."
