Your Big Event - Charity horseracing evening


Published on Tuesday 5 May 2009 12:59

Punters turned out to support a charity horseracing evening which made just over £1,000 to help breast cancer sufferers.

Ingoldisthorpe man Wayne Martin and his friend Tony Park organised the event because Mr Martin's wife, Clare, has had breast cancer and "wanted to put something back" for the It's a girl thing fund.

"She received treatment at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital at Lynn, and Cambridge and Norwich," said Mr Martin (37).

Around 80 people attended the event, held at Ingoldisthorpe Sports and Social Club on Saturday, April 25.

There were eight races and a raffle helped bump the total up to 1,016.50.

Mr Martin was particularly grateful for the prizes received.

His wife (40) was on Wednesday due to hand over the money at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
