Two events in memory of Ipswich teenager Billy Davies

Billy Davies, died last September, two years on from being diagnosed with osteosarcoma.

During his treatment he endured nine months of intense chemotherapy, six weeks of solid radiation, and two major surgeries to remove the cancer near his spine.

His loved ones have announced two upcoming events in his memory in September, including an all day party called Roll Out.

The event is being organised by DJ and music producer George Marshall, known as Kodework alongside Jordan Phillips.

Mr Phillips, who will also perform at the event asked for the DJ's help in getting involved in raising awareness and funds for Billy.

His sister and Billy's younger cousin, Karys-Rose Edwards will run the Ipswich half marathon on Sunday, September 27.

Miss Edwards said: "When he had the major surgeries, [Billy] had to learn how to walk again, learn how to feed himself, learn how to go on his phone, basic things like that.

"I wanted to run this half marathon to bring some sort of light to something so negative and raise awareness of teenage cancer and I feel like this event and party will help promote that."

Mr Marshall, said: "The whole point behind this is that Billy is a local lad and we want to create a space where everyone can come and have fun for Billy, for everyone involved in a local area which hasn't got lots going on.

"Moments like this, and this is one of the reasons I wanted to get involved, it's important to slow down and take a second and realise how lucky you are."

Roll Out will take place in Ipswich at The Yard and Escape Club on Saturday, September 5, whilst the Ipswich half marathon will take place on Sunday, September 27.
