Well our fundraising page has been up and running for 6 weeks now and this is the grand total you have all helped to raise …
Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would be this successful and it has warmed this old heart so much to see such kindness. I am grateful for every penny donated and am particularly touched by donations from people who don’t even know me and from friends who I know don’t have a lot. I am aware that many of us are living in financially challenging times, so fully understand that not everyone can (or wants) to contribute 😘
From the start, we wanted to make sure that we were doing things to earn your contributions, rather than simply crowdfunding. All of these events need a lot of thought and organisation – not easy when you have a full time job, a busy life and wobbly legs as well as brain fog and fatigue! I really appreciate all offers of practical help and couldn’t have got this far without family and friends sacrificing their time ..thank you all 😘
Here is an update on events still to come …
Christmas Second Hand Toy Sale
My nieces, Kyra and Fiona, have gathered up everything they can find in their bedrooms and hidden away in the cellar and are preparing to sell it at an organised event this Saturday. They live near Cologne in Germany, so if you’re near there and want to know where the sale is, get in touch!
Dry November
My fabulous friend, has volunteered to have an alcohol free November. As you can see, Julie is the cocktail queen of Stockport, so this is a big sacrifice for her!
Although it’s not yet November, Julie has already started her ‘go dry’ challenge and has managed a fun night out on soda water alone!
If you know Julie and would like to sponsor her, please see her in person.
If anyone else would like to encourage Julie with a small donation, you can do so via our GoFundMe page (link below).
Disclaimer: Julie is actually very sensible and does not have a drink problem 🥂
Wilmslow Festive 10K
Niamh, Callum, Jess and Jake will be taking part in this event on Sunday 25th November. Training has begun and thankfully, Niamh’s hip seems to be holding up!
Head and Chin shave 
Callum will be succumbing to the scissors in early December.
Evening Event
We are still in the planning stages for this but are hoping as many people as possible will come along a support us and have a fun evening of music, food and drink. We already have visitors travelling from the Isle of Man and from Germany to attend! Date to follow …
Peak District Mountain Bike Challenge
The five cycling lads have had a couple of set backs and are now running out of daylight! They have decided to follow advice and delay their cycling challenge until March of next year. This is because they have worked out that the ride will take 12-14 hours and for safety reasons (and to preserve my nerves) it would be better to not be doing some of it in the dark!
They plan to spend the next few months getting in as many training miles as possible.
As you can see in the photo above, they were out on the Peaks on Sunday, with Connor filming part of their route using a helmet camera …I’ll upload some footage from this when I’ve worked out how to!
Tandem Sky Dive
More information to follow when we have it.
we are still open to ideas and offers of help, so please get in touch if you have any 😘
