On Friday 18th October we hosted and catered for ‘In Sue’s Name’ charity Irish night. An amazing charity that we are proud to be associated with. Information about the charity below.
Catered by
In Sue’s Name was set up as a fundraising charity in memory of Sue Blasotta, who died in 2011 from brain tumours aged just 42, leaving two very young children.
Sue’s devastated father David resolved to cherish her memory by raising funds for research into brain cancer treatments and cures.
David was shocked to discover that despite this disease killing more children and under-40s than any other cancer, only 1% of the total government cancer research spend goes to brain cancers. Our charity launched in 2014 to raise awareness, funds and support for anyone suffering from the effects of brain tumours.
Our target is to raise £1 million by 2027 in order to provide crucial research funds to support the Blizard Institute in Whitechapel – the Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence at Queen Mary University of London.
But as well as raising funds for research into brain tumours, we are bringing together families who have lost loved ones from this cruel disease.
Ultimately, we want to create a legacy that will see a cure developed for brain cancers, enabling other families to avoid the heartbreak suffered by so many through this illness.
