A few weeks ago it was announced that Georgie 'Porge' Bryant, had received the devastating news her seven months worth of treatment to rid her of Leukaemia had failed, and her only remaining option was to get on a clinical trial. In order to be eligible for the trial Porge would need to receive treatment not currently available on the NHS which would cost £150,000. Fundraising got underway immediately and within two days the Pounds for Porge campaign had already reached a staggering £51,000. But following a few weeks of odd socks being donned at sporting fixtures, schools and fundraising activities the total now stands at £108,000 (as of 27th April). Thank you so much to everyone who showed their support!
