You could have been forgiven for thinking there was a Star Wars invasion in West Moors today.
Young Charlotte Jackson had a party at Pinehurst Community Church and her special guests were the Dorset Troopers in the guise of Princess Leia, Darth Vader, a Storm trooper, Scout trooper and Boba Fett.
The day was a celebration for Charlotte, who is now in remission following 26 months of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Her treatment finished on 14 July 2013.
Mum Sarah said, “The event was a thank you to everyone who has supported Charlotte over the last two years and funds raised today will go to the Poole & District Children’s Cancer Fund supporting children and families in the local area.”
Six-year-old Charlotte attends Oakhurst First School in West Moors.
The traffic stopping Dorset Troopers helped out with the fund-raising and created quite a stir in the village. They are available for events – call them on 01202 530801.
