Spa Treat Is A Landmark Event

A young Tyneside woman, who fought back from two life-threatening diseases, celebrated a landmark birthday and a clean bill of health in style thanks to Artesian Spa dealers, North Spas of Birtley. Rachel White was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis in November 2011. She made a full recovery but five months later, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and had to undergo an emergency operation. Last autumn, Rachel, who recently celebrated her 21st birthday, organised a coffee morning with a cake sale, raffle and tombola in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. With the help of family and friends, she raised more than £700 with a top prize in the raffle of a week-long use of a hot tub, donated by North Spas. “The prize was actually won by one of my dad’s friends, but he decided to give it to me as a gift for everything I’ve been through,” Rachel commented.
