LEAH Washington and Joe Pugh are urging people to dig deep and donate to their first charity fundraiser.

The couple have organised the event, at the Metrodome Arena, to help the three charities which helped save their lives during the horrific rollercoaster smash back in June.

It takes place on Saturday starting at 7pm and they hope to raise buckets loads of cash for Staffordshire Fire and Rescue, University Hospitals of North Midlands (Stoke hospital) and Midlands Air Ambulance.

On the night will be live music from local bands, a DJ, auctions, a raffle with lots of prizes, food and magicians to entertain guests.
