Our chosen charity this year is the Kelly Turner Foundation!
Kelly Turner was our Honorary Princess of 2016.The Kelly Turner Foundation aims to raise £1 million for research into Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumour (DSRCT) – a particularly aggressive type of sarcoma that occurs mostly in adolescent and young people. The foundation was set up by Martin and Linda Turner, in memory of their daughter Kelly who died of DSRCT in 2017, aged 17. Through their remarkable efforts, they have already raised over £600,000 towards our research to improve the outlook for patients with this cancer. On our Carnival day in 2022 we raised over £200 for the Kelly Turner Foundation.
