Wine, nibbles and bare-faced lies! Join us for a “Whose Wine Is It Anyway” wine tasting at Jesper’s Bar & Kitchen, in aid of Frank’s Fund

 

Test your taste buds for a cause. Two experts, (our very own Jesper Callisen and Alex Bussey from Yorkshire Vintners) will describe the same wine with fun stories and “facts”, and it’s your job to decide who is telling the truth. Prizes will be given to whoever guesses the most correctly.

 

Pit your wits against the professionals, blind-taste five wines, and indulge in delicious local cured meats and cheese pairings while supporting Frank’s Fund. £5 of each ticket will go straight to Frank’s Fund and there will also be a raffle on the evening to continue the fun!

 

Date: Wednesday 15th May

Time: 7 pm

Cost: £35

A bit about Frank’s Fund:

 

Frank’s Fund was set up in 2019 by Frank’s family in memory of Frank Ashton, a local Harrogate boy. At just 11 years old, Frank was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, a form of bone cancer. Ewing sarcoma most commonly affects children and young adults aged 10-25 years old. Sadly Frank’s short life ended on 9th February 2019 after 14 exhausting cycles of chemotherapy, 2 months of proton therapy in the US and a horrific 8-hour operation to remove the tumour and a substantial part of his pelvis.

 

Frank fought the disease with incredible positivity, resilience and amazing character, an impressive feat for a young boy. He would never have wanted any child to suffer as he suffered. If his death is to have any meaning at all, it needs to be to help people who are diagnosed in the future by raising funds that can be invested in much-needed research to combat Ewing sarcoma. Ewing sarcoma is so underfunded that neither treatment protocols nor survival rates have improved in over 40 years.

 

Come by and support us in the battle to find a cure for this disease!
