A ZUMBATHON has raised nearly £2,000 to be split between two different charities. The 'Party in the Pink' Zumba dance event at Budehaven Community School's John Ward Hall on July 4 raised £970, with the TSB Bank in Bude agreeing to match the donations. The total raised will be split between Bude Stratton and District Cancer Research UK and the Primrose Foundation at Derriford Hospital. Bude Zumba instructor Lisa Wood, who organised the event, said: "Last November one of my clients, Georgina Shanley, handed me a card and said she couldn't come to Zumba classes anymore because she was diagnosed with breast cancer."
