A MUM whose son was diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of three is organising a music festival to raise funds for research into the condition.

Tracey Crosby's son Thomas is now 10, but still suffers the secondary effects of the brain tumour and is tested every year.

This year's Mansfield Music Festival for the Children's Brain Tumour Research Centre is the third fund-raising event Tracey has organised.

She has so far raised a total of £27,000 for the charity.

The festival is being held at Mansfield Town Football Club on July 25.

Tickets for the event cost £5 are on sale now from www.mansfieldtown.net or call 01623 482 482.
