Fundraising evening with karaoke, pool, disco and darts at The Guide Post in Ryhope to support Sunderland teenager Jude Hazard, who is fighting cancer.
The Guide Post in Ryhope is hosting a fundraising evening for Jude Hazard this Saturday, 7 November, from 6pm. It's a proper pub night with karaoke, pool, a disco and darts, all running to raise money for Jude, a 15-year-old from Sunderland who's fighting an exceptionally rare and aggressive vascular cancer. He's receiving specialist treatment at St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, USA, and the night is one of several efforts to support him while he's over there.
His aunt, Georgia Punshon, says he's still on treatment and doing well. The support has been steady: a fundraising ball she held last month brought in £5,492, and a GoFundMe page has raised £99,925 so far. The people organising these events describe him as "a braver 15 year old you can not find", and say the whole thing is about showing him he's loved and that his community stands behind him. If you've been following the story, you'll know the money goes towards his care and the family's costs while he's in the States.
