A DEVOTED daughter has pulled out all the stops this year to fund-raise in memory of her mother.

For the last three years Elizabeth Chapman has baked and sold cakes to colleagues at work to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

But this year she has gone a step further, organising a charity night at Prudhoe Social Club.

Elizabeth (56) was inspired to take her fundraising efforts up a gear following the death of her mother, Rita Pattinson, in January this year.

She said: “I lost my mother to lung cancer and I told her on her death bed that I would carry on fundraising.

“The MacMillan nurses were amazing and I want to say a big thankyou to them as well.

“If it wasn’t for them I don’t know how a lot of people would cope.”

So encouraged by her colleagues at DE Pharmaceuticals in Low Prudhoe, Elizabeth is throwing a charity night on Saturday.

The evening runs from 7.30pm to 11.30pm. The evening will feature a disco and karaoke, a raffle, tombola and various stalls.
