Fundraiser Set for Seriously Ill Child



South Tyneside, UK - A fun day showcasing the best of South Tyneside’s independent businesses is aiming to raise funds for a seriously-ill youngster.  Natalie McKee is bringing together 15 people who run their own businesses for a fundraising event at Jarrow Civic Hall, on Saturday, in aid of Kian Musgrove.   The two-year-old is battling neuroblastoma, and doctors have told his parents, Kat Musgrove and Sam Gordon, originally of Jarrow, that he only has a 50 per cent chance of survival.  Even if Kian’s current treatment regime, including surgery and chemotherapy, does work, there is an 80 per cent chance of a relapse.  A fund has been set up in a bid to raise £250,000 to pay for possible further medical help, only available in the US. Saturday’s event will see all those businesses involved donating a raffle item, with monies raised going to Kian.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
