A FANATICAL fundraiser proved to be a good egg once again after organising an event to help the charity that supported him with his rare medical condition.

Richmond School and Sixth Form student Marcus Weston is one of only 400 people in the world living with Cardio-Facio-Cutaneous Syndrome, a genetic condition that leaves him with a host of health issues.

Now 12, Marcus, of Richmond, spent the first 13 months of his life in Newcastle’s Royal Victoria Infirmary. His family were able to stay close by because of the work of the Sick Children’s Trust which provided accommodation next door at Crawford House.

To show his appreciation, Marcus enlisted the support of staff and students at Richmond School and Sixth Form College running an Easter egg raffle and bake stall that raised close to £300 for the charity.
