Two Minute #Dab4Daniel Held in Newark

Monday, 1 January 2018 11:31

The community joined family and friends of Daniel Harris in a two minute ‘dab’ on Fernwood Playing Field at 11am today.

Balloons were also released in tribute to the six year old boy who died suddenly on December 23rd.

The #Dab4Daniel group, which has over 10,000 members, has lead to hundreds of photos being shared to celebrate Daniel’s love to dab. Famous faces lending their support include Strictly Come Dancing star Jay McGuiness along with sports teams and supporters including the Nottingham Panthers, Newark Flowserve and Lincoln City Supporters in order to show support to Daniel’s family.

A Just Giving page set up in Daniel’s memory has exceeded the £500 target, raising over £2,000. The link to the page is here: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/danielharris
