A Spooktacular Halloween day for NTUK

04 November 2019

A Spooktacular Halloween day for NTUK

The Claims Teams at Alan Boswell Group in Norwich and Cambridge held a Spooktacular Halloween Day to raise money for Nerve Tumours UK. The day itself was a wonderful event which saw some magnificent and some utterly terrifying costumes on show as well as several expertly carved pumpkins.

The money raised is being donated toward Sharon Theobald and her husband Ceri's London Marathon run next year. They are both running in memory of Sharon's late brother Jason as well as Sharon's brother Neil and niece, Ava Lily who are both affected by NF1. 

In true Halloween style there were also a whole host of spooky treats available

Everyone at Nerve Tumours UK would like to thank Sharon, Ceri and the Claims Team for supporting our charity with their wonderful fundraising event 😊
