Makeover night for cancer charity
A WOMAN who is fighting a brave cancer battle helped other people living with the disease by hosting a makeover night.
Beverley Bell invited people to enjoy the full beauty treatment to raise money for new hospital equipment.
Brave Beverley was diagnosed with breast cancer nearly two years ago and, despite having to undergo regular bouts of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and herceptin treatment, she has tirelessly fundraised for local cancer charities and hospitals.
Grandmother-of-six Beverley, who works for Hartlepool law firm TBI Solicitors, has raised an impressive 3,000 so far and the makeover night money is expected to swell the coffers.
She organised the makeover evening at Seaton Carew Social Club, in Station Lane, with the proceeds from the event going towards new equipment for the oncology department at James Cook Hospital, in Middlesbrough, where Beverley has received treatment before herself.
Beverley said: "The work of the oncology unit makes such a big difference to the many people who use it, people whose lives are being affected by this terrible disease.
"Every penny we can raise will make a genuine difference."
The money raised will go towards buying state-of-the-art computer equipment for the department.
The technology will benefit staff by making it easier for them to administer radiotherapy treatment.
It will also allow consultants to have remote access to treatment rooms, meaning they can watch procedures even when they are in another hospital.
Hartlepool hairdressers Bombshell Hair Design offered their services at the makeover evening.
