EMLEY is hosting an autumn fair to raise funds for a charity set up by a cancer patient.
The fair will be held on Saturday from 10am to 1pm at the Wentworth Club in Emley.
All proceeds from the event will go to the Ann Robinson Trust.
The Trust was set up by Ripponden woman Ann Robinson and her husband Keith, before she died in May of pancreatic cancer.
Mrs Robinson was diagnosed with cancer in June 2003 and allowed doctors at Bradford Royal Infirmary to try out a pioneering procedure on her.
She underwent five sessions of stenting, which involves inserting mesh tubes to keep bodily passageways open.
The idea is to make life more comfortable for patients with oesophageal and pancreatic cancers.
The surgery was performed by Dr Clive Kay, consultant gastrointestinal radiologist.
Using stenting on a cancer patient and for passageways other than those leading to the heart was unusual at the time.
The Oesophageal Stenting Service Team which carried out the treatment was only set up in 2003, but in February gained a Team of the Year award for their work.
Specialist nurses Helen Haigh and Sophie Stephenson - who treated Mrs Robinson - have been working with Mr Robinson and the Ann Robinson Trust to publicise the procedure. They have travelled the UK, Europe and the USA, giving talks.
They also took some of the £2,000 raised for the Trust at Mrs Robinson's funeral to make a video explaining the stenting procedure she underwent.
This video is set to be shown when the nurses visit Emley's autumn fair on Saturday.
The event has been organised by Sheila Hey, who was a friend of Mrs Robinson.
