Mansfield bar holding fundraiser to support Sutton man with terminal cancer

Staff at the Foresters' Inn at Center Parcs have organised the charity night for Nathan Brown's 'save my life fund'.

Nathan is currently trying to raise £80,000 for treatment in Germany after being diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer.

More than £19,000 has so far been donated to the 28-year-old’s fund, which will pay for Dendric Cell Therapy in Frankfurt.

Employees at Foresters' Inn - where Nathan's wife, Keely is a manager - have organised a charity evening to help raise the extra cash he needs.

Staff have arranged a night of live music, raffle prizes and karaoke which will be held at No.5 Bistro on Saturday March 7.

Becky Birch, 20, who works part time at the Foresters Inn will be singing at the fundraiser.

"I'm going to be doing some songs from Keely and Nathan's wedding - such as 'I'm yours' by Jason Mraz,” she said.

"Just upbeat songs that everyone can dance to and have a good time."

Nathan and Keely who tied the knot in April last year, wanted to get married as quickly as possible due to his condition.

And Becky, who performs as a professional singer, explained why her and her colleagues wanted to get involved.

"Well Keely is not just a manager, she's a really close friend and we know how hard she's had it,” she said.

"We have all come together because Keely is a good friend and that is why we all like working at Foresters' because we are all such a close group really and all kind of friends.

"They have got a lot going on around them so we are going to support them.

"It's just important to help your friends when they are in need."

The event at the bar. on Madeline Court, starts at 7.30pm and people are encouraged to make a donation on the door.
