Friends raise over £900 at pub charity event

In aid of her friend Laura O'Connor, 32 of Briar Way, West Drayton, who suffers with Multiple Sclerosis.

Charlie Butler successfully organised a fun day at The Fox & Pheasant, in Station Road, West Drayton on 29th August 2009 with tombolas games and raffles, finishing with a fabulous fancy dress party.

Charlie with the support of Vicky Borman and Shelly Wolstenholme crawled various pubs in the West Drayton and Uxbridge Areas with buckets managed to raise not only awareness but a staggering amount for MS Hillingdon.

Laura O'Connor said: " I would like to thank all that put in the hard work, dedication and donations to make this event successful especially in financally hard times it shows how generous people really are."

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a condition of the central nervous system.

It is the most common disabling neurological disease among young adults and affects around 100,000 people in the UK. MS is most often diagnosed in people between the ages of 20 and 40, and women are almost twice as likely to develop it as men.
