A BRIDAL fayre is being held in Bury in aid of the Kirsty Howard Appeal.

The event will take place at the Elizabethan Suite at Bury Town Hall on Sunday, September 26, at 11.30am.

Kirsty was given just six weeks to live in February 1999, but is still fighting the disease. Her heart is back to front, which means that her other organs are misplaced.

The defect affects just one in 60 million people, and is so rare that it does not have a name.

So far more than £2.5 million has been raised for the appeal.
