Hugh’s Quest
Paul MERCURIO (Hastings) (10:34): A big congratulations to Hugh, who had a life-threatening brain tumour when he was seven years old. I am very happy to say he beat it. He set up Hugh’s Quest to raise money for the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation as a way of giving back for the love and support he had on his cancer journey and to support those that are just beginning theirs. In past years there have been badges and bookmarks, and this year Hugh has made greeting cards. All four designs have been drawn by Hugh himself, with a bit of printing help from his mum. I am glad to say that at the recent store at the Somerville market he sold out.
