There’s a saying that a little goes a long way, and that’s exactly what a car wash owner hopes when concerning his charity to raise money for Cancer Research UK. According an article in Ripley & Heanor News, Aled Pegg, owner of the Hyrdo Hand Car Wash in Ripley, a small town in England, organized a fundraiser in memory of family members who were taken by cancer, and his mother who lives under the difficult treatment process for a tissue tumor. “One in three people suffer from this awful disease,” Pegg told journalists. “My grandmother died from it, and watching my mum suffer with her tumor makes this event extremely personal to me.”

2. There’s
a
saying
that
a
little
goes
a
long
way,
and
that’s
exactly
what
a
car
wash
owner
hopes
when
concerning
his
charity
to
raise
money
for
Cancer
Research
UK.
According
an
article
in
Ripley
&
Heanor
News,
Aled
Pegg,
owner
of
the
Hyrdo
Hand
Car
Wash
in
Ripley,
a
small
town
in
England,
organized
a
fundraiser
in
memory
of
family
members
who
were
taken
by
cancer,
and
his
mother
who
lives
under
the
difficult
treatment
process
for
a
tissue
tumor.

3. “One
in
three
people
suffer
from
this
awful
disease,”
Pegg
told
journalists.
“My
grandmother
died
from
it,
and
watching
my
mum
suffer
with
her
tumor
makes
this
event
extremely
personal
to
me.”
With
a
target
to
raise
£1000,
Pegg
and
his
car
wash
will
offer
a
barbecue,
bake
sale,
and
bouncy
castle
hoping
to
draw
in
families
and
locals
wanting
to
help.
The
event
will
take
place
on
Saturday,
June
14,
and
several
organizations
have
already
signed
on
to
assist,
including
radio
station
Amber
Sound
who
have
agreed
to
broadcast
the
event.

4. Pegg’s
mother,
Helen,
is
also
getting
involved
by
baking
a
cake.
The
62-­‐year-­‐
old
was
diagnosed
with
aggressive
angiomyxoma,
a
rare
type
of
tissue
tumor,
in
2005
and
is
currently
being
treated
via
hormones
for
a
tumor
located
in
her
pelvis.
“I
am
extremely
proud
of
Aled
and
touched
that
his
idea
has
stemmed
from
my
illness,”
Mrs.
Pegg
explained.
“It
is
proof
that
you
can
turn
a
negative
into
a
positive.”
