It is an amazing charity,“As part of my fund-raising I am organising a charity ball, which includes a free drink on arrival, canapes and a three-course meal. I have two comedians performing and will have a professional photographer taking photos.“We will also be doing a raffle and there will be an all-inclusive bar.“I have never run a marathon before. Trying to find time to train is difficult, as I don’t have a lot of time in between fund-raising, working and studying.”To buy a ticket call 07835287730 or email [email protected] wishing to donate can visit http://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Hannah-Payne14 or text HPYN72 with an amount to 70070.
