Friday 22nd May 2026

Marvel Stadium - Horizon Room

6.30 pm onwards



 
















A seat at the table can change everything.

Imagine a family dinner — laughter, connection, and love filling the room. Now imagine the silence that follows the loss of someone irreplaceable.

For families facing Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes, this silence is all too familiar. Too many tables now bear the heartbreaking weight of an empty chair — a daily reminder of loved ones lost to these devastating conditions.

But together, we can rewrite this story.

Join us on Friday, 22nd May for an evening of hope, resilience, and community as we come together to raise life-changing funds. With your support we can ensure that no family faces an empty seat alone.

Let your presence at this table signify not only solidarity but a commitment to a future where every family's table remains whole.

Take your seat. Make the change.
