Well, a couple of days ago, this happened …
100 donations in one month!! Thank you so much each and every one of you xxx
The sponsorship money from the Manchester Half Marathon is still coming in so I don’t have a total for that just yet.
Connor, Alex and Gleaves have been out training on their mountain bikes today.
Having said that she’d never run again, Niamh, along with Callum, Jess and Jake, has signed up for the Wilmslow Festive 10K run on 25th November. She is still resting up to allow her hip injury to heal, then all 4 will be training in earnest!
We also have some other fundraisers coming together …
My Prosecco loving friend, Julie, is giving up booze for a whole month!
My niece Fiona has signed up for a 10K and my sister Glenda, for a sponsored Nordic walk event.
My sister in law, Gill is hosting a coffee morning next weekend, including yummy cakes (she is an excellent baker) and a raffle.
I’d like to hold some sort of cake related event too …I seem to have so many cake making friends! Maybe some sort of Bake Off or something along those lines? Or a good old fashioned cake sale? Or something Christmas related? If anyone has any ideas, please give me a shout.
We are still working on a possible sky dive and a long haired person is considering a drastic hair cut, in exchange for donations …watch this space for more information on that soon!
We are planning an evening event to take place in January. We have a fabulous venue and plans coming together for music, food, drink, a raffle and a silent auction.
So, this is my next request for help …
- Do you have anything you could donate as a raffle prize or silent auction item?
- Do you own a business and would be able to donate services, a beauty treatment, a meal or anything else we could raffle or auction?
- Do you have any contacts at venues who could donate event tickets?
- Do you have a connection to anyone famous who could donate items?
- Do you have connections with anyone who could help with any of the above?
If you can help with any of the above, or you have any other ideas for fundraising, please give one of us a shout.
I’ve some items, including jewellery and artwork, Vicky, still shrink-wrapped (including photographic stuff) and a couple of signed books that would make nice raffle prizes. if you email me on catturner@manx.net I’ll send it to wherever it’s needed ….xx
That’s amazing Cat …thank you! I’ll be in touch xx
