Looks like a lot of fun for a great cause is to be had in York on Friday.
A Star Wars themed event – May The Fourth Be With You – is being held at a York pub in aid of young cancer patients.
Staff and customers at the Derwent Arms in Osbaldwick will don Yoda and Princess Leia costumes at tomorrow’s casino night in aid of the Neuroblastomabn Society, which fundraises to fight the rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer.
It is hoped some of the funds raised will also go towards brave Kelfield youngster Jamie Inglis, who has suffered a neuroblastoma relapse and has undergone surgery to have a tumour that causedparalysis removed from his spine.
The six-year-old’s family are now working to raise as much as £250,000 to pay for lifesaving relapse treatment with experts in Germany.
Sue King, the landlady of the Derwent Arms, said about the fundraising: “I don’t think a lot of people know about the Neuroblastoma Society charity, children tend to get missed out.
Have fun folks and raise some money huh?
