A WOMEN'S choir was in fine voice when it raised more than £2,000 from a concert in aid of a father-of-two who has an incurable blood cancer.
Decibellas Women’s Choir of Tarporley hosted its Christmas concert at St Boniface church in Bunbury, Cheshire.
The event was in aid of 42-year-old Pete McCleave, who has been given seven years to live having been diagnosed with incurable blood cancer myeloma.
The evening raised in excess of £2,000 for the stem cell donor register, DKMS, as well as helping to encourage more people to become donors.
Myeloma leaves sufferers with a compromised immune system and stem cells can be used to fix this.
Pete’s aim in 2018 was to find 10,000 new donors, a target he smashed in a matter of months.
Now approaching 40,000 registered donors, he has increased the target to 100,000 and so far, there have been 12 confirmed matches, raising the hopes of life-saving treatment.
Pete and local musician Lee Gordon have released a single, 'The Tide for 10000 DONORS', to raise awareness of the campaign.
