The ‘Smile a Mile’ event was held in King Street to raise awareness and funds for Kerinda Trigg’s London Marathon endeavour in April in aid of the Laughter Specialists charity.
The fundraising event featured music from Twisted Funk and Alfie Slade, a guest appearance from Princess Belle from Enchanted Parties, face painting by the Luna Glitter bar, a cheeky crocodile and bear, and fun entertainment from Annie Aris and Patrick Jacobs, founders of the Laughter Specialists.
“Kerinda has been tirelessly putting on events to raise the precious funds we so badly need to continue our wonderful work,” a spokesman for the charity said. So far, Kerinda has raised more than £6,500 and is working towards her £10,000 target.
The Laughter Specialists is based in Saffron Walden and spreads the magic of laughter to hospitals and special schools, reaching sick children across East Anglia.
