A MAN fighting terminal lung cancer through his love for music has raised �1,600 for a hospital care unit so far.
Trevor Hogg, of Welney, started his campaign by launching his CD, titled Memoirs of a Crashing Soul, last month at the village's Lamb and Flag pub.
Mr Hogg then celebrated his 50th birthday with a fundraising gig on February 6 at Three Holes Village Hall.
Bands that played at the party included Neon Mussolini, Mr Hogg's old band Carte Blanche, Sidewinder and Mr Hogg's current band Oggy and the Originals.
The money is going to the cancer care treatment unit and palliative care fund at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn.
Mr Hogg said: "My friend Martin Kent arranged the raffle with prizes donated from shops in Ely and Downham Market.
