Risca fundraiser for British Heart Foundation
The 'Have a Heart Charity Event' will take place on Friday, November 28 at the Workingman's Top Club and will feature Darren Graceland Jones and award-winning singer Savannah Mountain.
"This charity is extremely dear to my heart as both my father and younger brother have been diagnosed with the condition Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)," said Danielle Haddigan.
"On February 10 this year my father was called to London to undergo a heart transplant as a donor was found, but my world came crashing down on the March 24 when he passed away due to many complications.
"During my father's life, in fact also my brother's life, the British Heart Foundation have supported them both.
"With this all in mind we as a family would like to give something back to the charity."
The family are asking for help with prizes for a raffle and donations as they set a fundraising target of £2,500.
"We want to stress that every donation, no matter how small, is deeply appreciated and will go a long way towards helping us achieve our goal," said Ms Haddigan.
Tickets cost £10 with doors opening at 6pm.
