'Birthday' event helps raise hundreds to support bowel cancer charity
A charity event to raise money for Bowel Cancer UK has brought in more than £1,800.
The event was held at Greasbrough Working Men’s Club and organised by Mick Wright, in memory of his son.
Mick said: “We have done pretty well with it.
“They said I had to have a birthday party and I said I will do it to raise money for Bowel Cancer UK.
“About 400 people turned up and we have raised £1,800 so far.”
The special occasion tied in with Mick’s 70th birthday and he wanted to use it to help Bowel Cancer UK after losing his son to the disease four years ago.
In the past he has raised money for good causes.
The big day included attractions such as bouncy castles, a buffet, and a raffle and bingo with prizes donated by local businesses.
