A terminally-ill Fosdyke woman is determined to “kick cancer where it hurts” after being diagnosed with the disease.
Sally Wainwright has stomach cancer – but wanted to do something to help others in a similar situation.
With the help of friends and family, Sallyfest music event is to be held at Baston, near Bourne, to raise money for Cancer Research and Macmillan Nurses.
Sally said: “After being diagnosed I cannot begin to describe the effect it has on friends and family, as well as myself.
“Cancer must be beaten. It is a cruel disease that can affect every single one of us.
“It is indiscriminate and it’s time we kicked cancer where it hurts.”
Kim Gain, a friend of Sally and fellow breeder and exhibitor through the dog-based charity Bracco Italiano Society Health and Welfare, said: “You feel totally powerless when you hear the kind of devastating news about a friend that I did.
“It was like being hit by a truck to be told you are going to lose such a close friend to such a terrible disease.
“But after talking to Sally we agreed there was something we could do. We could make a difference to help others and Sally said this was what she wanted.”
Owners of Windmill Farm Caravan Park agreed to host the event in a farm building and donate camping proceeds.
The event will be held on Saturday, September 21, at Windmill Farm Caravan Park in Baston, starting at 5pm.
Two live bands and a DJ will provide music all night long. As well as music there will be a barbecue, bar and a raffle. Proceeds from the park and bar will also be donated. Readers are invited to display a poster that can be downloaded at MulleredAtTheMill.co.uk
