A WESTHOUGHTON mum is planning to abseil down a hotel to raise cash BASIC - the charity people with brain injuries and illness.

Samantha Galvin has been inspired to raise as much money as she can by her daughter, Amy, who has spent three quarters of her life fighting a brain tumour.

And now Samantha is appealing for sponsors for her abseil down the Piccadilly Jarvis hotel in Manchester on September 10. Anyone who wants to sponsor Samantha should contact BASIC at the Neurocare Centre, 554 Eccles New Road, Salford, M5 2AL.
