๐ Last Friday, Emma, one of our ๐๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ Facilitators, joined The Solan Connor Fawcett Family Cancer Trust at their Christmas Ball. This was a particularly special event as it was celebrating 10 years of their incredible work supporting cancer patients and their families across the North East.
Emma had the pleasure to be sat with Mark, Team Solanโs CEO; Kevin Ball, former Sunderland player, captain, and coach; and BBC Tees radio presenter, Gary Philipson.
What was wonderful to see at the celebration was that there were over 30 โwarriorsโ attending โ what Mark calls his cancer patients. Many of the warriors have also either been previously supported by us, or we continue to support them. This proves how much of a difference we make by working together with local charities for continued support.
The event was supported by lots of local businesses, raising awareness and funds on the night. Overall, though, the goal was celebration. They did just that with some great entertainment.
Hereโs a message from Emma on the night:
โI feel very fortunate and proud to be invited to this event, and to see those clients we have supported having made great support networks, new friendships, and overall having a great time. It was just amazing.โ
