A KINGS Worthy resident is celebrating after raising £5,000 for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance.
Jackie Watson, of Worthy Down Lane, will climb Mount Kilimanjaro in February, and held a fundraising race night on September 11 at Itchen Abbas and Avington Village Hall.
She sold 150 tickets for the races and auction - and raised £2,000 more than she predicted.
“The evening was an amazing success all down to the generosity of so many people,” she said.
“I am completely staggered!”
