Group of young lads from Heage raise over £3,200 for Teenage Cancer Trust
It is often remarked that ‘these days the youngsters don’t care’. Well a group of eight young lads, Lewis Elliott, Jack Lambley, Finn Robinson, Zack Needham, Joe Hawkins, Aaron Lowndes, Ben Richford, Alfie Richford and Charlie Hartshorne, all regulars at the Eagle Tavern, Heage, have proved this statement wrong in a big way.
On Friday 29th March the lads all took part in a charity head shave in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust.
They were shaved by Ghost Barbers with the event being hosted by Kelly Walters, Landlady of the Eagle Tavern in Heage Derbyshire.
They all obtained sponsorship and to date the event has raised over £3,200.
The Eagle Tavern is the adopted clubhouse for the League of Zeal Motorcycle club, formed in September 2014 when Lauren ‘Loz’ Elliott, a teenager from Heage Derbyshire was diagnosed with a sarcoma.
Following this diagnosis Lauren’s family and close friends founded the League of Zeal Motor Cycle Club, a family club based in the Amber Valley area of Derbyshire who strive to raise money for a truly personal cause, the Teenage Cancer Trust, who work to help 13 to 24 year olds suffering with all forms of cancer and who have been and continue to be invaluable in their assistance and support for Lauren.
All the lads are very close friends of Lauren and LOZ MCC and wanted to continue to help and support a cause which they know has been and continues to be so supportive to Lauren.
All fundraising activities by LOZ MCC and their friends are coordinated with the assistance of Joanne Benbow, Teenage Cancer Trust regional fundraiser for the East Midlands Team.
Since November 2014 they have raised in excess of £66,000.
League of Zeal MCC are planning to hold their annual event ‘The Old Goat’s Grumble 5’ family friendly music festival on the weekend 14/15/16th June 2019 at Sycamore Farm Shottle and tickets are available via their website www.loz-mcc.co.uk or telephone 07786065341 and they will be raising more money for Teenage Cancer Trust. Please go along and support them in this fantastic event.
Teenage Cancer Trust was formed in 1990, before this there was no specialist cancer care for young people offered within the NHS. Now there are 28 specialist units and teams of expert nurses and youth support staff in NHS hospitals across the UK offering young people with cancer the very best care and support from the moment they are diagnosed, throughout treatment and after treatment has finished.
