A BRADFORD fundraising family has handed over more than £12,000 to two Bradford charities in memory of their father.
In the past eight years the Mistry family have taken up challenges and organised events making more than £110,000 to help change lives here at home and abroad.
At the weekend The Govindbhai Foundation, started by Harkishan Mistry’s family and named after his late father, gave £6,350 to Bradford’sFulfil The Wish charity for organising activities and holidays for children and young people with disabilities.
The same amount was also presented to Saraswati Vidyalay UK for teaching literacy to youngsters in the most remote parts of Nepal.
The £12,700 came from the Foundation’s eighth annual charity dinner dance which had a Soul and Motown theme with The Rumble Band. As well as the dinner dance, four members of the Mistry family took on the challenge of the Yorkshire Three Peaks and one of its youngest members, four-year-old Rohan Mistry completed a 3km run.
