THE Lisa Barnes Memorial Fund reached �60,000 thanks to money raised at Ely’s Apple Festival on Saturday.
Visitors to the festival, held on Palace Green, donated some �443.80 to the fund, helping push the total fund past the �60,000 mark as charity founder Robert Barnes continues in his quest to raise �100,000.
A draw for a goodie-packed apple cart was held, with Keith and Jenny Green the winners.
Robert said: “I am so grateful to the small army of volunteers helping to raise such a huge amount of money in such a short time, without them I could not do the job I am doing.”
