Familiar faces will be among the fundraisers supporting the much-anticipated annual Pink Ball at Nailcote Hall Hotel Golf & Country Club in Berkswell next month.
Actor Christopher Walker – best known for his role in BBC soap Doctors – and Modern Romance frontman Andy Kuriacou, are on the guest list for the Ball, which is set to raise thousands of pounds towards local state-of-the-art cancer treatment at Solihull, Heartlands and Queen Elizabeth Hospitals.
It marks the 22nd year of the glittering event, which has so far raised more than £500k for the hospitals. And it’s a cause very close to the heart of the hotel’s co-owner and two-times cancer survivor Sue Cressman, from Dorridge.
The 65-year-old, who underwent a mastectomy ten years ago, has been continuing to give back with the life-saving medical equipment which includes localizer probes. This new technology leads to more accurate surgery with less damage to healthy tissue and a reduction in the need for radiation.
