A SUPPER, auction and raffle in Pennyghael Hall on Mull raised a grand total of £5,560 for Bunessan mum Alex Cameron, who flies to Singapore on July 5 for treatment to try to halt her multiple sclerosis (MS).
Mrs Cameron, who runs the Creel Seafood Bar at Fionnphort with her fisherman husband Andrew, is raising £56,000 for the new two- to three-month course of chemotherapy followed by a hematopoietic stem cell transplant, which destructs and reboots the body’s immune system. A recent trial found the radical but risky therapy stopped symptoms in most MS sufferers tested.
The sunny evening event on Friday June 17 drew a record crowd to the hall.
