At the helm is Angela Davey, mother of well-known local boy Dale Davey who twelve months ago was diagnosed with cancer.
“Funds raised in Cootamundra will stay in Cootamundra” said Angela, pictured here with her son Dale.
Angela explained how her youngest daughter, seven year old Claudia, is keen to help, already planning to have her head shaved so she can seek sponsorship and help raise money for this very worthy cause.
