A family with a history of fundraising has clubbed together to throw a swanky charity ball in Marlow next weekend.

Flo Styles, her partner Gary Styles, daughter Ella Lewis and Gary's mother Irene Meeks are preparing for their Summer Ball in aid of Cancer Research UK and the Thomas Ball charity at the Crowne Plaza in Marlow on Saturday, July 11.

The fundraising family been keen supporters of the causes, after Flo lost an aunt and a close friend within days last year, and have taken part in numerous fun runs and events, raising over £2,300 so far this year.

She said: "We have always done a lot of fundraising but it really hits home when it affects you personally so that really spurred us on.

"We’re all looking forward to the ball, it’s just a last minute push for tickets now."

The black tie ball features a live band all evening, with a silent auction and raffle, drinks reception, three-course dinner and casino.

A limited number of tickets are still available, priced £75. Contact gary@my-styles.co.uk or call 07980 660427
