by Faiza Afzaal


FAMILY and friends of a Eibble Val­ ley man, who died from a rare form of leukaemia, are honouring his memory by raising £50,000 for a heart scanner.

Father-of-two Graham Gardner died


last April aged just 29 after suffering from disseminated lymphoma - a con­


dition which causes tumours. Graham, of Gleneagles Drive in


Brockhall Village, worked as a lorry driver and spent the last few weeks of his life in the intensive care unit at Blackburn Royal Infirmary. Now his parents, Colin and Janice ;


Mustoe, who fostered Graham from being three, have launched a major appeal to raise £50,000 to fund a new echocardiography machine for Black- bum’s new hospital to keep his memo­


ry alive. And they are calling on generous


people in the Ribble Valley to dig deep and help them meet the target. The heart scanner - most commonly


known as an Echo machine, can moni­ to r the heartbeat in real time using ultrasonic waves, which gives a similar image to an ultrasound scan of an


unborn baby. I t will allow doctors to- look at a

patient’s heart and detect any abnor­ malities with the valves, heart cham­

Ribchester and own office furniture business Senator International, based in Altham and Huncoat, have now reg­ istered the Graham Gardner Intensive Care Fund to purchase the heart scan­


ner. And the fund-raising process has


already started with preparations under way for a white tie and dia­ monds summer ball at the Dunkenhal- gh Hotel, Clayton-le-Moors on Friday,


June 9th. . Meanwhile, Blackburn painter, Mr John Chapman has done his bit for charity by painting a picture of Black­ burn Royal Infirmary, which will be

auctioned on the night and is expected to fetch at least £2,000. The picture has been framed courtesy of Rainbow


Gallery in Great Harwood. Between now and June, committee


members are working extremely hard to ensure the charity spectacular runs smoothly and as much money as possi­


ble is raised. One of the organisers and committee


member, Mrs Joan Egan, of King Street, Whalley, said: “Graham spent the last few weeks of his life in the


intensive care unit. “Although the doctors and nursing


staff did everything possible for him,


he lost his fight for life. “Colin and Janice spent many weeks


visiting Graham while he was in the intensive care unit, met most of the doctors and staff and on his death promised to raise funds for a piece of equipment in memory of Graham. “Most of us know of someone who


has been treated in the special unit and will understand that the best equip­ ment is needed for saving lives. “We have already received a number of pledges, but still require as much


support as possible.” A number of other events are also


being planned for later in the summer • including a garden party and prize auc­


tions. Anyone wanting to pledge support


by donations or items to be auctioned is asked to contact Mrs Egan on 07831 118229. Our picture shows Mr Chapman


with his painting to be auctioned, along with the summer ball’s commit­ tee members Mrs Carole Field and Mrs Egan determined to raise £50,000 to purchase the vital piece of hospital equipment.

by Jean Miller A WHALLEY couple have celebrated


their diamond wedding. Mr Maurice Wilson, who was 90 in February,


met his wife, Kathleen, who will shortly be 88, when she went to work as a doctor's reception­ ist almost next door to where he then lived in Dewsbury. They were married at High Green Methodist


Church, near Sheffield. A lunchtime party for 15 family and friends,


including some who took part in the original wedding ceremony, was held at the Dog Inn, Whalley. This was followed by champagne and


anniversary cake at the couple's home in Mit- ton Road, where they have lived for more than 50 years. Both served in the forces, Mr Wilson being

IT was not tbe usual lace hankies, perfume or chocolates th a t Mrs Jacqueline Pye received on her 65th birthday. Instead, the big-hearted Ribble Valley


resident thought about others before her­ self and raised £720.50 to boost funds for a life-saving charity. Mrs Pye celebrated her birthday by


holding a party at the Catholic Social Club in Clitheroe. However, she requested fami­ ly and friends to give donations in lieu of presents to the North West Air Ambulance (NWAA). A raffle was also held on the night, which raised £300. Speaking about the generous move, the


retired nurse said: “I t is such a worthy charity and receives no Government fund­ ing. My husband, Harold, died last year and the air ambulance was called out to help. Although by the time the helicopter arrived it was no longer needed, it made me realise how important the service is for people living in remote rural areas like the Ribble Valley.” Mrs Pye, who lives in Whalley Road,


Billington, and has two grown-up children and six grandchildren, expressed thanks to her friends Mrs Ann Hargreaves and Mrs Anne Grundy for helping to organise the birthday party. She also thanked Clitheroe businesses for the raffle prizes. Our picture shows Mrs Violet Leech, of


the NWAA receiving the cheque from Mrs Pye (right), with friends Mrs Hargreaves and Mrs Grundy. (CR040506/1) ,• •, , , , ,
