A BLACK Country woman who turned to fundraising after a recent cancer scare has raised hundreds of pounds for Make-A Wish Foundation UK.

Mother-of-three Lorraine Chew was recently given the all clear by doctors after discovering a lump in her breast.

That experience prompted her to organise a number of charity events through a new initiative she has named Lorraine’s Aim Ms Chew, from Ettingshall, was delighted to raise £260 after a weekend of fundraising in Sedgley.

The cash came from a karaoke night at the Red Lion pub on August 16, a fun day at Dormston School on August 22 followed by a raffle at The Courthouse Pub, in Gospel End Road, later that evening.

She said: “I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who supported these events and helped raise money for charity.

“I was about the community coming together to raise much-needed money for a very worthy cause.”
