A message from our very own @yummiebrummie “I’m excited to let you know that this October will see the return of my Friday Night Kitchen, a live culinary experience complete with fantastic entertainment in front of an audience of 400 guests at Aston Villa Football Club. Following the success of last year’s event, I’ll be inviting a few of my friends from TV to join me on stage, hosted by Gregg Wallace, to share plenty of stories and laughs as I prepare four specially designed courses for guests to enjoy. With fantastic food, drink and entertainment until the early hours, it’ll be a Friday night to remember. Thank you for taking the time to consider supporting this event. Sponsorship means that every penny raised will go directly to Cure Leukaemia, led by Professor Charlie Craddock, to support life-saving clinical drugs trials in the West Midlands.”

About Cure Leukaemia – Glynn’s chosen charity Founded in 2003 by Professor Charlie Craddock, Cure Leukaemia helps to bring pioneering drug and transplant treatments to blood cancer patients throughout the Midlands. The charity helps finance the world class Centre for Clinical Haematology at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, to fund lifesaving clinical trials to treat patients with blood cancer who have exhausted standard treatment options. To date, Cure Leukaemia has helped to treat over 4000 patients by leveraging over £23million worth of revolutionary drugs and funding crucial research nurses to administer these trials. “Charlie Craddock and the team at Cure Leukaemia are a terrific asset for the city. There can surely be no greater cause than saving lives. This particular cause, however, also has the added benefit of developing new approaches to clinical care that is providing a new economic force for the city - in life sciences.” Neil Rami, Chief Executive, Marketing Birmingham
“The work Cure Leukaemia does is invaluable and has already made a huge impact in the fight against leukaemia and lymphoma. I’d urge people to support the charity as they could make the difference between life and death.” Ram Malladi, Senior Clinical Lecturer/ Honorary Consultant Haematologist
