A former Olympian is backing an event to be staged in the memory of a much-loved teenager from York.

The Millie Wright Children’s Charity is hosting its third annual ball on Saturday, November 23, at York Racecourse.

Founded in 2022 by Ceri and Nigel Wright, in memory of their daughter Millie, The Millie Wright Children’s Charity aims to end the inequalities in hands-on charitable support for families of children with life threatening conditions.

 
 

Based at Leeds Children’s Hospital, and recognised by Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust, the charity provides emotional, mental health and wellbeing support for children and their families throughout their stay in hospital.

The winter ball is being supported by former Olympic bronze-medallist, and charity patron, Nile Wilson. 

He said: "After last year I’m so excited to be supporting Millie’s Winter Ball again in November.

"It’s been an incredible year for the charity so this will be a great opportunity to celebrate the all the successes and say thank you to all our supporters.
