Rachel Blackburn and Kerwin Blackburn from US2U Consulting were pleased to attend the GEM Appeal Ball in Manchester for the third consecutive year. This year it had an ABBA 'Thank You For The Music' theme.
Now 30 years old having been set up in 1994, The GEM Appeal is a charity that fundraises for genetic diseases, raising money for research for the Willink Unit based at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. The charity was established by Karen Johnson with the aim to fund research into the disorder that her two sons were suffering and later died from. Several millions of pounds have been raised by The GEM Appeal since.
Rachel Blackburn said, "It was great to catch up with some of the people who support the charity, including some of those from the entertainment world, whilst raising funds for further research which could benefit so many people."
