The day was a huge success with face painting, a tombola, cartoon characters and bouncy castles.
Michelle said: “Every little helps. It’s a hard enough time for Rebecca and Wesley, I can’t imagine what they have been through. I would have been a wreck, I take my hat off to them.”
Bounce House owner Andy Cleminson donated all money taken on the door to the cause, and helped arrange and run the day.

An online Go Fund Me page has already raised over £45,000 for the brave little boy, who is undergoing an intensive course of radiation and chemotherapy in a bid to shrink his tumour and prolong his life.
On the page parents Wesley and Rebecca said they are ‘completely heartbroken’ but determined to fill the rest of their son’s life with happy times.
