A FUNDRAISING event to help send a Spennymoor woman to Mexico for specialist cancer treatment will be held at the weekend.

Several therapists will be attending Chilton Community College for the event on Saturday.

Massage therapists and a reiki master will be offering their services, alongside face painting and hair braiding sessions.

A Body Shop consultant will be present and Clicks Leisure will donate takings from sunbed and gym sessions to the appeal.

SureStart will also be on hand to look after any children while parents have their therapies.

All money raised will go towards the Pam Aston Flight For Life campaign, which aims to raise £20,000 to send the 46-year-old to the Oasis of Hope Hospital in Tijuana, Mexico.

The event, which also includes a five-a-side football tournament and refreshments, will be held between 10.30am and 3pm.
