Sbtm Presents Live Music For Jamie's Quest: Pet Needs
Songs Behind the Music Presents a night of Live Music to fundraise for Jamie's Quest. The night will be headlined by an acoustic duo set from Pet Needs. Support will come from Grace Calver, Oli Bruce, and more TBA. Jamie's Quest: "Urgent help needed for lifesaving cancer treatment to save our son!" We are in a race against time to fundraise for new, lifesaving cancer treatment for our beautiful son, Jamie. Just thirteen years old, Jamie has relapsed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare childhood cancer. We have found a trial for an immunotherapy vaccine treatment in Germany that could save his life, but unfortunately it cannot be funded by the NHS here in the UK, so we urgently need help to raise funds in the next three months to be able to finance his treatment."
