Promises sale to help Kyle Spencer

8:32am Thursday 28th June 2012 in News

THE parents of a North Yorkshire boy recovering from his second bone marrow transplant are organising an auction of promises to benefit families in the same position.

Kyle Spencer, seven, from Northallerton, underwent the procedure in February at Newcastle’s Great North Children’s Hospital, following two weeks of intensive chemotherapy.

Now Kyle is back home after having spent months in an infection-beating “bubble” – a clinically sealed bedroom – in the Tyneside hospital.

Northallerton’s Broomfield School, where Kyle is due to return in September, will hold the fundraising auction of promises early next term, with local auctioneer Mike Darwin wielding the gavel.

To find out more about the auction or to offer additional lots, phone 01609 778151.
