A YOUNG woman from Redditch celebrated a decade in remission by raising more than £3,000 for Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

Phoebe Prudden,aged 22, who was diagnosed with a medulloblastoma brain tumour when she was 11-years-old, took part in a range of activities including a skydive at Langar Air Field in Nottingham on March 22, alongside her younger sister Elise, aged 17.

She was motivated to raise funds for the hospital after she received life-saving brain surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment.

The sisters raised almost £700 by holding a successful fund-raising event at the Rocklands Social Club on March 6 where more than 80 close friends and friends attended.

Phoebe said: “I am very proud of mine and Elise's achievements and I am overwhelmed by the support and generosity from friends, family and even members of the public.

“I have had an amazing and inspiring experience being able to raise money for such a worthy cause with my sister by my side; it has made the experience more special and worthwhile.

“It also means we can say an even bigger thank you to the hospital for not only saving my life but making me the person I am today.”

The duo originally aimed to raise £2,000.
