Elvis tribute night raises over £2,000 for YPU

Fantastic fundraiser, Glenys Padfield, from Oswestry has raised an incredible £2,600 from her Elvis tribute night, which took place on 10 March.

The event was organised by Glenys, who has lived in the Shropshire town for the past 35 years, to raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust Young Person's Unit at QEHB (YPU) following the treatment that a family member received on the unit. YPU is a specialist cancer unit that treats teenagers and young people aged 16 to 24. YPU is designed to ensure that teenagers and young adults are diagnosed efficiently, treated effectively, and have the support they need to make it through their treatment and rebuild their lives after cancer.

Glenys said: "Everybody had a fantastic night and I am so happy with the amount raised and hope to raise even more in future events!"

Sophie Carroll, Fundraising Officer at QEHB Charity said: "Thank you to Glenys and all her friends and family who went along to the night and donated so generously. The monies raised will go towards supporting young people who are facing cancer."
