They will always be grateful to her donor family.

The Concert was a great success and it is anticipated that ALTA will receive around £6,500.
John Fisher and his wife attended and Jane Andrew, who recently lost her husband, made the thank you speech on behalf of ALTA at the end. It was very moving and very personal - very very brave. She is committed to helping Addenbrooke's and ALTA and was fulsome in her praise of the Liver Department and C9.
Many thanks to the Kelvedon Singers, to all who helped make the event such a success and to John Crookenden for helping with the organisation.
