A Burnham-On-Sea coffee morning has raised more than £450 towards an ongoing £250,000 campaign for vital overseas treatment for a local boy who has cancer.
As we reported here, Jack Gyde, 5, has been diagnosed with stage 4 high-risk Neuroblastoma after initially suffering pain in January. Over £118,000 has been raised so far towards the £250,000 cost of vital life-saving treatment for him in America.
The Abbeyfield Burnham and Highbridge Society supported Jack’s fundraising appeal at its open coffee morning on Friday (7th June), as pictured here.
“A total of £457 was raised and will be donated to local boy – Jack Gyde campaign to raise funds for vital overseas treatment,” said Sarah Moseley, House Manager at Burnham and Highbridge Abbeyfield Society.
“The coffee morning was well attended by residents, families, Mayor, Town crier and Claire Sulley, prospective parliamentary candidate. Everyone enjoyed a slice or two of home made cake and refreshments.”
