A NURSE is organising a fundraising event for St Helena Hospice in October.

Kelly Stanford, 34, is one of 100 riders taking part in the Highwoods-based charity’s 3-2-1 Cycle event, which will take cyclists on a five-day ride through 300 miles of English countryside, the Netherlands and Belgium.

To help fundraise, Miss Stanford, who works at the Colchester hospice, is holding a Disney’s Frozen-themed children’s disco at the St John’s and Highwoods Community Centre, in Tyndale Square, Colchester from 2pm until and 5pm on Saturday, May 9.

It will also feature a raffle, face painting as well as cake sales. To back the fundraising effort, visit justgiving.com/ Kelly-Stanford2
