George and Sharon Davison’s son Martin (43) died on July 5 after being diagnosed with glioma glioblastoma, an aggressive type of brain tumour.

They have been raising money for research organisation the Brain Tumour Charity in memory of Martin, who grew up in East Herringthorpe.

Their latest raffle, held last Saturday (14) at Maltby Leisure Centre, raised £234 and took their total fundraising to £1,120.

George (60), of Wickersley, said: “I’m absolutely over the moon with our latest total.

“We have had fantastic support.”

Among the prizes were vouchers from Maltby Leisure Centre worth around £70.

George said he was planning another raffle to raise money for both the Brain Tumour Charity and Rotherham Hospice.
