Fundraising

A couple of Helen's friends approached me about a month ago saying that they wanted to do some fundraising either for Helen or in her name.  I was gobsmacked and very humbled that they would want to do this for her and for us.  We decided on a date and I suggested who the proceeds should go to.  Arron and Nelly decided on where and what format the event would take.  So ........

November 16th 2013 from 7pm
The Gun Pub, Andover Road, Newbury, RG14 6NE

The charities being supported are The Brain Injury Group (BIG) who have been a massive support to me and Holy Cross Hospital where Helen is getting her rehabilitation. 

Arron didn't know whether to arrange a karaoke, quiz, raffle or similar.  Decided on karaoke and a raffle.  The karaoke he arranged fell through.  On Facebook I got and pleaded.  A friend of mine stepped up and got his friends to fill the gap for the cost of a few drinks.  Very grateful to them for this.

Nelly drafted a letter to take to companies in Newbury for raffle prizes.  They have got a few nice donations from local companies.  I have sent a few letters out as well.  It's all going well.  
Got a few more to approach.  Other people have got their employers to donate something as well.

The other thing we have arranged is silicone charity bands.  Theresa, Rachael and I sat down and decided on the colours and writing.  They arrived yesterday and they are awesome!!  My hands look so old in the picture!!  We have already had quite a few orders.  The profit will be split between the two charities above.

If anyone wants one they are £1.50 each.  They come in dark blue, lime green, red, orange, black, white, teal, purple, red, grey and pink.  The words on the bracelet says "Helen's Hope - Hold on for one more day".  They can either paid for in cash and collected or paid for by PayPal and I will post them out at a cost of 60p for up to 5 and 90p for 6-15, larger amounts will cost more). My PayPal account is annette.m.welch@gmail.com.







I've got just a few bands!!
