Pictures: Team Emily Lip Sync Battle event raises a staggering £28,000 at City Hotel

It was a packed house at the Armagh City Hotel on Saturday night as hundreds turned out for a huge Team Emily fundraiser.

Twenty-two local people – 12 acts – took to the stage in a Lip Sync battle for the ages.

The night was a roaring success with more than £28,000 raised!

And a huge well done to Jody Kelly who was crowned Lip Sync star.

The money raised – which is now over £100,000 will go towards ongoing efforts to secure a life-changing operation for little Emily Toal, who was born in May 2018 with TAR Syndrome.

This means Emily is missing her radius bone in both forearms. Therefore, she has clubbed hands, a curved ulna bone in her forearms and a low platelet count.
