Pike anglers reel in funds for terminally ill children

A LIGHTNING-fast fundraiser was set up a few weeks ago to quickly raise money for terminally ill children.

A group of local angling enthusiasts came together in Lincoln to catch as many freshwater pike as possible and collect the money for children's charity React.

March marked the 10th annual “React Fish-In" organised by Clive Melhuish and fellow members of the Lincoln Pike Anglers Club (PAC) and the Lincoln and District Angling Association.

Over the course of one bright, glorious spring day, the fishermen managed to catch several fine specimens to boost motivation in raising as much as possible for React.

React is a small charity which focuses on the quality of life for kids with life-ending sickness throughout the UK.
