SUPPORTERS of 23 year-old Laura Sylvester, who suffers from rare disease EDS and has had three operations on her spine in the US since January, are mounting a special concert at Frensham Heights School at 7.30pm on Thursday, May 19, to help raise the £190,000 she has to pay for the specialist medical help she needs.

Laura’s mother Jayne teaches singing at the school and its music teachers will be performing in the ballroom. Tickets cost £10 and can be pre-booked by calling 01252 792561. To donate to Laura’s Medical Crowdfunding website go to www. you caring.com/laura-sylvester-483048.
