Mr Galloway sadly lost his mother Vera Hudson in 2019, when she was murdered by a neighbour in Hull.

Since this traumatic event, Mr Galloway has bravely taken on fundraising challenges to raise money for other people who have also suffered through a similar traumatic event.

“It kills me every day, but if I can go out in life knowing I've made a difference I'll be a happy man.

“I've already done a charity event for Victim Support- I did a 57 mile walk with my friend and my brother- we walked from Bridlington to Hull and we raised £1,436.”

Funds raised will be donated to Victim Support, an independent charity dedicated to supporting victims of crime and traumatic incidents in England and Wales. They provide specialist help to support people to cope and move on to the point where they feel they are back on track with their lives.

The Celine Dion event will take place on February 23, with tickets being sold on a first come first served basis.
