ALL is a rare type of blood cancer that starts from young white blood cells called lymphocytes in the bone marrow. Around 760 people are diagnosed each year in the UK with ALL.
Mark says the show was very successful. “It was brilliant!,” he said.
“We sold all one hundred and twenty tickets to friends and family of Marley-Mae and Denny-Rae, who attended the show. We raised £450 which we presented after the performance to the youngsters’ grandparents.”
