BRAVE Bobby Wright whose parents are fighting to raise £200,000 to pay for his treatment for a rare form of cancer visited Okehampton on Monday as the town did its part to support the campaign. Regulars at the King?s Arms raised £430 in two days of activities over the Bank Holiday weekend. On Sunday, the pub held a penalty shoot-out competition and karaoke and on Monday, a hot-shot pool competition and music quiz. The three-year-old from Kenn near Exeter is undergoing a gruelling course of chemotherapy at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital to fight a rare form of cancer and is due to return to hospital this week. Parents Kevin and Jacqui are trying to raise the cash to send Bobby for hi-tech treatment in New York. Teresa Edwards, from the King?s Arms thanked everyone who had supported the fundraising activities and all the businesses who donated prizes for the occasion. l The King?s Arms will host recent Battle of the Bands finalists Southpaw Jinx and The Devil Riders, this Saturday, September 3, at 7.30pm.
