brainstrust

A fundraising event in the name of a Marlow teenager battling a brain tumour was a roaring success last night. There were 250 people at the Jessica Taylor Charity Fund dinner and dance, held at Newlands Girls School in Maidenhead.

It has left the charity, which smashed its original £25,000 target, determined to raise more money. Jessica, 14, was diagnosed with the tumour last August, and has been fighting the disease ever since.

She and her family set up the charity fund, to raise money for a multi-media ward at John Radcliffe Hospital, in Oxford, where she has had treatment.

Congratulations to Jess and her family for organising this excellent event! Don't miss out on their next 60s Night on 18 October. Find out more about Jess and how you can buy tickets on Jess's Campaign page »
