A TEENAGER will undertake a 12-hour sponsored drumathon this weekend.

William de Vaal, 17, of East Witton, near Leyburn, will attempt to drum from 9am to 9pm on Saturday, in the youth building at Wensleydale School, Leyburn.

Money raised from the event will help pay for the teenager to travel to India to work in an orphanage.

Supporters are welcome to go along and watch.
