Lyn Paul (The New Seekers, Blood Brothers) is headlining the Smile Concert which features a leading West End performers from West End shows including Mamma Mia, Wicked, Shrek, Blood Brothers, We Will Rock You and Matilda accompanied by a 42 piece orchestra! at the Orchard Theatre in Dartford on Sunday 12th Feb at 7:30pm
The concert is in aid of Nathan Box - a 7 year old boy who suffers from a rare brain tumour called Hypothalamic Harmartoma which causes him to have 25+ seizures daily and is effecting his development and communication. His condition is curable but unfortunately the NHS cannot fund it, the only option to cure him is in Texas.The treatment alone costs £100,000, which the family is glad to say they have managed to raise. However they still need to raise another £50,000 to cover the cost of travel, accommodation, travel insurance, added tests, MRI scans and any additional treatment Nathan may need when in Texas. Your ticket is worth twice as much thanks to a very generous anonymous donor, who has agreed to fundmatch money raised, up to £20,000!
If you want to help but can't make it you can always sponsor a seat the proceeds of which are being donated to Ellenor Hospice to allow a child in their care a night out to the theatre for free!
