In 2023, Sue organised a charity evening of live music, a raffle and auction, and raised an incredible £4,350 through her event!
I had a bone marrow transplant at the excellent Freeman Hospital in Newcastle and without the care, skill and dedication of the NHS staff and the stem cell donor organised by Anthony Nolan I would not be here today.
We had a fabulous night of sunshine, good food, amazing live music, raffle, auction and disco. We also hoped that as well as raising money we raised awareness of blood cancer and the Anthony Nolan register.
