New Years Eve Cancer Victim’s Legacy
16/10/2007
The family of a nine-year-old girl who died of cancer on New Year’s Eve 2006 have raised thousands of pounds in her memory.
Children’s cancer charity CLIC Sargent have received £10,910 from the family of Tori Tucker, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour in April last year and died on New Year's Eve. In September last year, the family began fun-raising by organising a series of events in and around their local area of Claverham in Somerset. The events have included a 70s disco at Claverham Village Hall, a quiz, a jumble sale, and a dinner and dance at Mendip Spring Golf Club. The fund-raising continued after Tori’s tragic death on New Year’s Eve. Tori's aunt, Rosemary Tucker, said: "Friends and relatives have been so supportive of each event and local businesses have been very generous with raffle prizes. "I work at Churchill Community School which held a gospel choir concert and raised over £1,000. My son Sam raised money by running the London marathon. "We would like to thank everyone for helping to raise such an incredible amount of money.”  Click here for more on London's best events and Christmas parties.
