Richard Dolman raises over £7,000 for The Breast Care Centre

C&D customer AR Demolition and owner Richard Dolman has raised over £7,000 for The Breast Care Centre, Glenfield Hospital.

Women from across Leicestershire are to benefit from more than £7,000 after the demolition of two massive chimneys earlier this year.

The money has been raised by businessman Richard Dolman, whose wife Kellie has been treated for breast cancer at Glenfield Hospital. Richard's company, A R Demolition, raised the money by offering the public the chance to push the button and demolish two massive chimneys at the Desford Steel Tubes factory.

Hundreds of people turned up on a Sunday morning in September to buy a raffle ticket, and to watch the two chimneys, each measuring 150ft, eventually crash to the ground.

Richard said:

I'm obviously thrilled to raise that much money because I only thought we'd get half that. I'm pleased that we've managed to get something good out of a bad situation and it's certainly raised awareness of breast cancer among people around me. If you're in a position to be able to put something back then it's the least you can do really.
