ROBERT PLANT's Mercy Gig
The U.K.'s ExpressAndStar.co.uk reports:
Rock legend Robert Plant is backing a fundraising campaign to raise
£25,000 in three months to save the life of a Kidderminster mother
suffering from a brain tumour.
The former LED ZEPPELIN frontman, who lives near Shatterford, was so
moved by the plight of his 41-year-old friend Jackie Jennings that
he decided to stage a Christmas concert in the town.
Around 600 fans are expected to pack into the town for the concert
at Kidderminster Town Hall on December 23.
He will appear on stage with his latest band the RETURN OF THE
HONEYDRIPPERS with all proceeds going towards the fund.
Mrs Jennings, who has a 10-year-old daughter, was diagnosed with a
brain tumour in 2003 and under went surgery in January 2004 to have
it removed.
But the tumour returned and doctors say the only treatment now
available is a proton beam therapy at a hospital in Boston. The cost
is around £100,000 and is believed to offer a cure.
