Reggae night raises thousands for cancer patients

Anne Costello, From Solihull, raised a fantastic £5045.00 at her Reggae Extravaganza evening at Casey Joes, in support of cancer patients at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.

The event was organised by Trevor Gayle, to celebrate Anne being five years cancer free. The evening consisted of live music, a raffle and lots of fun.

The money was raised for the Chemotherapy Ward at the hospital, where Anne’s Mother Val, sister Valerie and friends Anita, Angela and Kathleen have all received treatment. Anne’s daughter, Jade Costello, also works as a nurse at QEHB.

Anne’s parents, John and Val Donaldson, are pictured above presenting QEHB Charity’s Fundraising Assistant, Sophie Carroll, with the cheque from the evening.

Anne also received fantastic support from local businesses, including Money Doctor Financial Planning, Fire Security and Truflo Marine Valves.

Sophie said: “It’s been a pleasure getting to know Anne and meeting her parents, they have raised an amazing amount with support from family, friends and businesses, and its wonderful to see everyone come together. I would like to say a huge thank you to Anne and everyone involved in raising such a fantastic amount for patients at QEHB.”
