Mark & Katy Styles

The Ball was held at Swarling Manor,?hosted by Valerie Lamb in aid of East Kent MNDA Group and the Alzheimer’s Society. The evening was fine and over 120 guests attended the event which started with drinks in the rose garden, a three course meal, a raffle, an auction of prizes and dancing to a live band. There was also a brilliant magician called Chris Harding who went round the tables doing some excellent magic tricks! The events manager Philippa masterminded the auction and encouraged everyone to bid even auctioning off her husband to dance and an MND toy meerkat!

Several members of the East Kent MNDA Group committee attended including Judy Keay?our volunteer visitor, Wendy Sansom?our Chairman?and Katy and Mark Styles. Katy said a few words about MND at the event.

Chrissie Batts our Specialist nurse also put together a table with friends.

A significant amount of money was raised and we are awaiting notification of the final total which will be divided between the two charities.

Our thanks go to Valerie and Christopher Lamb for their hard work and generosity in hosting this fabulous event.
