Shooting Club on Target for Cystic Fibrosis Appeal

Wednesday 27th January 2010

Members of Staveley Rifle and Pistol Club were bang on target recently, when they competed against each other, in order to raise much-needed funds for the Sheffield Cystic Fibrosis Appeal. Members competed in the new ‘Charity Shield’ tournament and held a raffle, successfully raising £300 for the Appeal.

Member Mike Lee explains: “The ‘Charity Shield’ tournament was created specifically for charitable purposes. The challenge involves 10 shots over 25 yards, followed by 20 shots from 50 metres. This is the first year we have run the ‘Charity Shield’ and I’m proud to say we did it for such a great cause.

“Our members were given the opportunity to nominate a charity to support, before we all took a vote on which one to go with. I choose to nominate the Sheffield Cystic Fibrosis Appeal. My daughter Alison works on the Cystic Fibrosis unit at the Northern General Hospital, so I know first hand how much the new facility is needed. The staff on the unit do a brilliant job at looking after their patients and therefore deserve our support in continuing to build on this and improve things.”

Fundraiser Isla Denoon said: “We are grateful to Staveley Rifle and Pistol Club for all their efforts in raising this money, with particular thanks to Mike Lee for nominating our Appeal as their chosen charity. With the clubs help we continue to move one step further to achieving our target of £1million and our quest to improve facilities and care for teenagers and young adults with Cystic Fibrosis.”
