04/08/2011	Roller Hockey Fight Against Teenage Cancer Posted By Arthur Corr (Peterborough)
Peterborough Roller Hockey Club would like to thank all those players who attended and or donated to the fundraising event. The amount raised on the night was £500.00 which will be split evenly between the two charities Clic Sargent & The Teenage Cancer Trust. The idea behind the fund raiser was to say thanks to those people who helped Shannon through her ordeal and to give something back so they can help other people. Unfortunately Shannon had a relapse and was not able to attend as she was in Addenbrooke's hospital undergoing more treatment. Shannon was a player with Peterborough Roller Hockey Club before turning to dancing with the Posh All Stars cheerleaders. Doctors mis-diagnosed Shannon's leg problems before finally discovering she was suffering from cancer, which ultimately led to her leg amputation.. The Attendees Were: Peterborough Roller Hockey Club, Robbie & Tommy Allander, Carlos Amaral, Chinny's Army, Val Conroy, Karl Gay, Andy Locke, John Milne, Rachel O'Reilly, Harry Parfitt & Rees Parfitt, Darcy Quinn-Sekyy, Dale Richardson, Paul Roberts, Harry Southgate & Team Walpole,
