Organisers say: “This year money is being raised for an amazing little local boy in need of life changing surgery in the form of Hope4Harri! We’re also collecting much needed donations of food, drinks & toiletries to support local foodbank Hope for Food, so there’s lots of ways that you can help! Our trip around Verwood this year is being sponsored by the lovely folks at YESSS Electrical, so please give them a cheer and support them if you can!”
