Hide AdMark’s mother Mavis sadly died aged 74 in September 2019 after suffering from Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The event, which saw around 120 people attend, raised £600.
Mark said: “The charity event was supposed to be held in April 2020 but after Covid we had to rearrange it nearly two years later but I was determined to proceed with it – We’d like to thank the Alexandra Steakhouse for letting us host our event.
"The charity really helped my mother so I decided I wanted to give back and support this great charity.”
