TAUNTON'S Dragon Boat Race has raised £21,000 for Headway Somerset, the charity said this morning.
Seventeen teams of 16 rowers took to the River Tone for Sunday's race.
A Headway Somerset spokesman said £21,000 has already been raised, with more money still to come in. The charity helps people with brain injuries to live independent lives.
