A charity night organised by a brother and sister to raise money in memory of their mother has been a resounding success.

Brant and Danielle Clayton, who lost their mum Sally to cancer in 2008, have been running the Let's Rock Cancer charity since 2006 to raise cash through music events.

The pair from Goxhill organised the event at The Wortley House Hotel on Saturday, January 28 at the end of another successful 12 months of fundraising that has seen them raise £2,390.

Brant, 23, said: "The event went really well.

"Representatives were there from all the charities that we support and were presented with giant cheques on the night. We never lose sight of why we are doing this as it is close to our hearts.

"You remember everything that the charities have done at a time like this and why it is so important to support them."

The charities they support are: Teenage Cancer Trust, Macmillan Cancer Support, Lindsey Lodge Hospice and Yorkshire Cancer Research.

Each of them will have a share of the money raised throughout the year.

Brant and Danielle have hosted a string of fundraising events since Sally died aged 46. They set up the charity during their mum's battle where she was diagnosed with a malignant round-cell tumour called Ewing's sarcoma. Sally's battle ended in 2008, when the cancer returned some time after she was given the all-clear.

Brant said they would continue with the positive work.

He said: "We will try to continue what we are doing in 2012, keep improving on what we are doing and supporting the charities as best we can.

"We will keep continuing with our annual events such as Battle of the Bands and we have a music gig at the Lincoln Imp on February 18.

"We are also looking at trying to arrange a one-off music event to raise money for prostate cancer as one of our event organisers has just lost her grandad to it, so we would like to do something for them."

Guests at Wortley House Hotel enjoyed a three-course meal and music provided by Battle of the Bands 2011 runner up Lizzie Goddard and winners Missed You At The Show.

There was also a raffle and an auction, with all donations coming from local businesses.

"Loads of various companies were kind enough to donate things," he said. "We also premiered a promotional video that Scunthorpe-based KNOW media did for us explaining everything that we do."

Brant said that this would now go on to the charity's website and its YouTube page.
