MEET GAYE: Gaye Kasperuk is a mother of two, a communications professional, a loyal, honest and born survivor who has taken on the momentous task of organising a brand new glittering ball in aid of Cancer Research .

Gaye is always smiling and loves to see people happy. She’s been through an awful lot in recent years including her own battle with cancer, but nothing seems to stop her from looking out for her next challenge - however tough it may be. From trekking in a Guyana rainforest at part of TV programme Extreme Dreams, Gaye has won the respect and friendship of many high profile personalities that she hopes will help her with her next challenge: to raise thousands of pounds for the UKs biggest cancer charity, Cancer Research UK.

If you can't make the gala evening you can still play a part by making a donation - anything would really be appreciated.
