When is the next Salsa for Charity event?

EVENT

FRIDAY 17th JUNE

Guest Teacher

GREG ABOUNA

ABOUT THE TEACHER

A lot of you will know Greg Abouna because he's very popular, he's great fun and always has a smile on his face. I can guarantee you will leave with a smile on your face too. If you've never done salsa before, he will teach you the basics, and then he will help you if you want to improve your salsa too.

ABOUT THE CHOSEN CHARITY

You may remember last December, Greg and I fundraised for Oliver Maw's family who are aiming to raise £230,000 for a vaccine only available abroad, which is designed to reduce the chances of Oliver's cancer returning. They are still trying to reach their target by September so we are trying to help them get there. They have partnered with the Bradley Lowery Foundation who will collect all funds raised on Oliver's behalf.

Oliver is 6 years old, from Sunderland and is a triplet! On the 19th of Feb 2021 he was diagnosed with stage 4 high risk Neuroblastoma, which is a rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer. He is currently undergoing frontline treatment at the Royal Victoria infirmary in Newcastle. He is super brave and doing well but unfortunately Neuroblastoma has a high relapse rate meaning there is a high risk that Oliver's cancer will return again in the future.
