Childhood Eye Cancer Trust (CHECT) is free & open to anyone affected by retinoblastoma (Rb), a rare childhood cancer of the eye. CHECT offers lifelong support to families, starting from the moment a child is diagnosed & continuing through treatment, into adulthood, & beyond. There are three main strands to their work:

• Provide support & information to families & individuals

• Fund research into the prevention & treatment of retinoblastoma

• Raise awareness among health professionals & the public

CHECT receives no government funding.

Three North East bands - Major Accident, Boilermaker and the San Niguel Band are waiving their performing fees to appear for the evening to raise funds for CHECT. The show is taking place at the Forum Music Centre in Darlington on the 8th February.

The charity is so close to the bands as Jaydon George Isaac who is the grandson of David Hammond (original guitarist with Darlington Clockwork Punk Legends Major Accident), is unfortunate enough to be affected by the condition.

All proceeds from the gig will be donated to CHECT alongside any donations that are collected through this Just Giving page.
