A Preston couple have donated £4,000 to Rosemere Cancer Foundation after turning their ruby wedding anniversary party into a fundraiser for the charity.Phil and Elaine Etienne held their celebration at BAE Systems’ Canberra Club in Samlesbury for 140 guests, among them their grown-up daughters Natasha and Zoe.
But home and work aren’t the only things the couple have had in common since marrying at St Teresa’s RC Church in Penwortham in 1982, just a year after they first met through mutual friends.Back then – when Phil was 20 and Elaine 19 – it was a shared love of music and dancing at the likes of Standish’s, Cassinelli’s and the city’s Snooty’s and Squires that helped grow their relationship. More recently, it has been helping one another through cancer and its treatment.
Elaine said: “Our daughters really stepped up to help us. They were fantastic taking us to appointments and doing a lot of running around for us.
