Crawl or nothing in charity pub blitz
TWO friends from Soham are planning a rather different fundraising challenge next month in support of a leading breast cancer charity.
Emma Goldsack and Danielle Mills will be donning pink outfits
and balloons for a pub crawl around Soham where they will encourage drinkers to make donations in collection tins for Breast Cancer Campaign.
The pair plan to visit various pubs in the town, including The
Fountain, Comrades Club and Red Lion, before finishing at
Ship for a charity raffle and karaoke.
Although they took a break year, the friends started the annual pub crawl about four years ago after Emma's sister Julie was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Over years they have raised about 2,000.
"My sister was diagnosed breast cancer five years ago and luckily she has got the all clear now," said 28-year-old Emma,
works at Danielle's company Bright Spark Recruitment in Street.
"It was a case of lets do something to help and we started
crawl for that reason.
"It is a good way to raise money and a fun way in which to do
We might start off with five or of us and end up with about
people joining in along the way."
Anyone wishing to join Emma and Danielle to raise money event, which is on Friday, October 23, are welcome but are required to wear pink.
They will be leaving from outside Bright Spark Recruitment
7.30pm. People who would like donate money or prizes for the
charity raffle should contact Emma on 01353 723902.
