Following the loss of his wife, Diana, to myeloma in 2022, our supporter, Raymond Poole, decided to host an annual festival in their local town to honour her and raise awareness of myeloma.
Named 'Diana's Day', the festival is held on the local village green in a small village in Worcestershire and brings together musicians, local artists, businesses and the community. There have been craft markets and even an American car show at previous festival days.
Over the past four years, and with the help of Raymond’s good friend Andy, the festival’s sound engineer, they have raised over £8,000! 🧡
Due to ill health, Raymond has had to step back from organising Diana's Day but is hopeful that the locals will continue with the festival and keep the tradition going.
When we asked him what he would say to someone thinking about fundraising for Myeloma UK, he said:
"Grab your ideas by the horns and do it."
Huge thanks to Raymond, Andy and their local community!
