OUR appeal has passed the £3,000 mark just three weeks after being launched.
Kind residents, businesses and community organisations have helped the total rocket to £3,289.
The figure is more than double the £1,400 reported in last week's Shuttle/Timesand News and puts Operation Covert well on course to achieving its final goal of £80,000.
