Event Overview
This evening marks the 10th Yabba event and will again be raising vital funds for The Christie Charity and more specifically the work that they do within their TYA (Teenage & Young Adult Cancer Service), providing treatment and support for children and young people from across the region who are battling cancer.
Money raised from this evening will go towards funding a PhD post, that will undertake research examining rates of Autism and ADHD in childhood and young adult cancer survivors in a world-leading academic environment with a particular focus on living with and beyond cancer.
Both Autism and ADHD, if undiagnosed, can lead to worse experiences of care. This PhD position will identify the degree of under-diagnosis in our population and prompt referral for diagnosis and management.
To support our fundraising, you can participate in our live and silent auctions, our car prize draw and raffle. Or simply go to the donate button.
Your evening will be hosted by Hugh Ferris, presenter at BBC Sports News.
Tonight promises, delicious food, fabulous entertainment and even a musical firework display. We are confident that you will leave the evening, with sore feet and full hearts, having had an evening to remember.
