A fundraising charity ball is set to take place at Burnham-On-Sea’s Ritz Social Club on 15th August to support local teenager Caleb Bingham as he battles a rare neuromuscular disease. The event aims to raise money towards an electric wheelchair that will help Caleb maintain his independence as he lives with Friedreich’s Ataxia that affects balance, coordination, speech and mobility. As a baby he fought meningitis, and as he grew older he was diagnosed with autism and several other conditions. The charity ball will feature live music from popular local band The Rubix Dudes, along with a buffet, raffle and auction. Funds raised will go towards providing Caleb with an electric wheelchair, giving him greater mobility and helping him continue taking part in everyday life despite the challenges ahead.
