Detectorists give charity a funding boost

Fundraising metal detectorists have donated more than £40,000 to help the RUH buy a vital piece of equipment.

The team behind the Rodney Cook Memorial Rally (RCMR) have once again turned their love of metal detecting into something extraordinary, donating over £40,000 to help charity RUHX’s campaign to bring a state-of-the-art PET-CT Scanner to the Royal United Hospitals Bath (RUH Bath).

Founded in 2018 by Gary Cook, the Rodney Cook Memorial Rally honours the memory of his father, Rodney Cook. Rodney passed away at the RUH Bath in 2017 after his battle with cancer.

Driven by a heartfelt commitment to supporting cancer services, Gary ensures that proceeds from ticket sales, raffles and other event activities go towards helping others who are cared for at the RUH, as well as supporting other local causes.
