A CHRISTMAS fair is taking place to raise money for a mum’s cancer treatment.

Sarah Poole was diagnosed with breast cancer last November. By January, the cancer had spread to her spine, liver and lymph nodes.

Sarah, 39, of Colchester, underwent chemotherapy which was enough to combat the smaller tumours in other parts of her body, but the cancer spread further.

Sarah has been having radiotherapy and a scan in December will determine if it has worked. Her friends and family are raising money for her to have proton beam therapy which should hopefully kill the cancer cells.

The Christmas bazaar fundraiser will take place at Rowhedge Football Club clubhouse in Rectory Road on December 15 from 11am. There will be cakes, stocking fillers, jewellery, a raffle and more.
