Skegness Raceway hosts charity fun and fireworks for Gracie -Mae
The memory of a little girl who sadly died aged just 10 months will light up the sky when Skegness Raceway hosts an end of season charity fundraiser.
Little Gracie Mae Rengger passed away on September 20 last year in the peaceful garden of a hospice in Leeds.
Since birth Gracie-Mae had been treated for Tetralogy of Fallot – a defect that affects normal blood flow through the heart.
However, in spite of receiving surgery she battled a number of health conditions before her untimely death.
Her parents Jessica and Jordon are now committed to raising funds for the Children's Heart Surgery Fund – a charity that helped them while Gracie-Mae was in hospital.
The day starts at 1pm with a full race meeting, including caravan bangers, and ends with a sparkling finale at 4pm featuring £10,000 worth of “It will be an amazing event all for an amazing little girl who unfortunately lost her life due to children’s heart disease aged just 10 months,” said mum Jessica.
"From face painters to balloon artists, a car raffle, cake sale and so much more as well as a huge fireworks display with caravan bangers to finish off, what a way to celebrate one brave courageous little lady who has inspired the county and beyond.”
This is their third event. The summer fun day raised a whopping amount of £1,810.37 for the Children's Heart Surgery Fund.
Skegness Raceway is on Marsh Lane, Skegness (PE24 5JA).
