The Market Tavern, Hanley has helped to raise over £10,000 alongside the parents of a local boy, who was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia last year.
Local Stoke-on-Trent boy Jayden, who is Operator’s Simon and Natalie’s Nephew was diagnosed last year with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. Jayden began intensive chemotherapy in September 2021 and was very unwell during the treatment cycles, picking up infections which consequently delayed his recovery.
The Market Tavern team alongside Jayden’s parents Nick and Lindsey have been fundraising for the last few months to support Jayden with what he has been going through. Natalie set up a GoFundMe page and organised various activities to kick start the fundraising. The pub has shared online raffles and football cards both on their social media and in the pub to win signed football shirts. Also, during the Grand National this year a sweepstake took place, which resulted in nobody choosing the winning horse and the money collected being donated to the fundraiser.
Simon Clavert, Operator of The Market Tavern, said: “I am so proud of the fundraising work that my partner Natalie and Jayden’s parents, Nick and Lindsey have done over the last few months. I am humbled to be supporting their fundraising initiative, which is not only to provide Jayden with a trip to Disneyland for being so brave with everything he has gone through, but to give back to everyone who supported him and our family during the difficult time. The support received from everyone has been incredible, we are all so amazed by how much has been raised already and want to say a huge thank you, it means so much to all involved.”
The pub has already exceeded expectations with the amount of money raised and have made Jayden’s dreams come true with a trip to Disneyland. The Market Tavern team, Nick and Lindsey are continuing to raise funds for the Ronald McDonald House as they provided Jayden’s family with a home away from home throughout Jayden’s stay in hospital. To support the continued fundraising, Natalie, Nick and Lindsey are in the midst of organising a charity day which is going to take place this summer at The Market Tavern. The pub will announce details soon, so keep an eye on their Facebook http://www.facebook.com/markettavern2014/.
Simon continued: “Natalie, Nick and Lindsey are currently planning a charity day and are so excited to share all the details with everyone soon. The charity day is a chance to get not just the local community together, but everyone who has followed or been a part of Jayden’s journey. This is going to be so much fun and will be a great opportunity to try and raise money for the cause.”
