CARING Karyn Ballinger is holding a fundraising party in honour of a family friend diagnosed with cancer.
Karyn has organised the event at the Hobnails Inn in Little Washbourne next Saturday for five-year-old Jasmine Charles, who is battling kidney cancer.
She is having chemotherapy ahead of surgery to remove a tumour and a kidney next month.
Jasmine lives across the road from Karyn in Winchcombe and goes to same school as her children, Winchcombe Abbey.
Karyn, 39, said: "We are such good friends with the family and it's heartbreaking that she has cancer. When it's someone you know so well you want to do everything you can to help."
There will be stalls and entertainment at the event, which runs from noon to 4pm and will raise money for the children's cancer charity CLIC Sargent.
