Inspiring mother and nsif fundraiser Leonie Hallam hosted a Midsummer Ball on Friday 12th June.
\r\n
The ball took place at the Doubletree Hotel by Hilton Chester and guests were treated to a welcome reception, a three-course meal, a live band, silent auction and raffle prizes. Guests were welcomed to the ball by a video clip from three of nsif’s patrons – Will Greenwood, Allan Lamb and Claire Lomas – as well as a message from adventurer, speaker and author Bear Grylls.

Leonie raised £4,000 overall, which will be donated to nsif and also the Midland Centre for spinal injuries.
\r\n
Leonie reported that she very much enjoyed the ball and is planning another one, for the same causes, next year.
