A charity kickathon at a local Taekwondo Club raised over £1,600 for a former member.

Kevin Barber was a Black Belt with the Monmouth, Usk and Abergavenny Taekwondo Club but now suffers from young onset dementia, after being diagnosed in 2016 so his wife, Mirande who still trains under master Tony Farr, asked the club to help her raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society as she is taking part in a sponsored 26 mile hike in the Brecon Beacons.

Her JustGiving target of £300 has already been smashed by 680 percent, but the support for the society is still great.
