A brass band is to stage a fundraising concert and raffle to help a little girl who requires medical treatment in the USA.

Training band Shirebrook Miners’ Welfare B will play at the Turner Hall, Mansfield Woodhouse, on 13th May, at 7pm to raise money for Mia Morgan.

The four-year-old Mansfield youngster was diagnosed with a brain tumour at Christmas. The tumour was successfully removed, but found to be cancerous.

Now Mia needs seven weeks of treatment in Jacksonville, Florida, where she would have proton beam therapy to try to kill off any remaining cancerous cells. She may also need chemotherapy.

A fundraising campaign has been set up at www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/Mia-Morgan to try to fund the new treatment.
Bandsmen have volunteered their services free for the concert and the Turner Hall is providing the venue free.

Call Graham Buckley on 01909 721342 for tickets.
