Fundraiser for Heelys boy

3:34pm Sunday 25th March 2007

A fundraising concert will raise money for a seriously ill boy recovering from a road accident.

Jarred Twaits was knocked down by a car while he crossed the road wearing Heelys roller shoes.

The 12-year-old, of Vale Road, Seaford, suffered serious brain damage in the accident in January and is still in King's College Hospital London.

His relatives have been holding several events to raise funds for his care when he comes home.

The next event is a night of live music and has been organised by Jarred's uncle, Dave Twaits.

The Brass Monkeys will play at the Beachcomber in Seaford on Friday March 31 from 8pm. Mr Twaits is lead singer and a guitarist in the group.

They will be joined by bands Feedback and The Baker Boys.

Entrance is by a voluntary donation on the door.
