£1m Henry charity party
Saturday, January 26 2008 |
Soccer idol Thierry Henry is teaming up with Sir Elton John for a charity bash aimed at raising £1million for Cystic Fibrosis.
The ex-Arsenal ace is hosting “The Liv” dinner at London’s Dorchester Hotel on January 31, 2008 – with Elton as the star performer. Guests include David and Victoria Beckham, Matt Lucas and Sir Alan Sugar.
Cystic Fibrosis is a life threatening, debilitating disease that seriously affects the lungs and digestive system. The average life expectancy of a CF sufferer is just 31 years. There is currently no cure. Each week, five babies in the UK are born with Cystic Fibrosis and each week, three young people lose their lives to the disease.
Barcelona star Thierry said: “It affects thousands of families.” Donations can be made at www.give2liv.com.
