Darren Green presenting his Caricature to Liane Simmons as a donation to support Royce’s Big Walk.

Supporting Royce’s Big Walk: Cartoonist Darren Green from www.thecartooncellar.com presented his Caricature of NRL Legend Royce Simmons to his wife, Liane Simmons at the stunning Finn’s Store in Canowindra.

Darren created and donated his caricature to Royce to have it Auctioned off to help raise money for Royce’s Dementia Awareness cause. Royce is currently doing a 300 km walk from Dubbo to Bathurst and was passing through nearby Eugowra today. 

We wish Royce all the best in succeeding on his 10-day 300km Big Walk for Dementia.
