Hi
I have exciting news !!! Chris, my trekking partner and I held our first fundraising event last night (Saturday 5th April) at our local Ceroc freestyle event. It all happened rather quickly though, as we had only asked permission to do so on Wednesday evening, 2nd April. I contacted the MS Trust the next morning and they immediately sent us a supply of collecting boxes, t-shirts and posters. We placed the collecting boxes on the many tables at the venue along with a small information sheet, which explained why we were raising funds. We also managed to orgainse a raffle. I had already bought a couple of bottles of spirits in anticipation of doing such an event and we received a number of donated prizes. Kind thanks to Phil at CIS and my brother who each donated two bottles of wine, my father for bottles of whisky and Chris's employers for boxes of chocolates.
What a fantastic evening. Everyone was so supportive of what we intend to do and generously bought the raffle tickets and placed donations in the collection boxes. We raised £95.00 from the raffle and £22.92 from the collection boxes. So a great big THANK YOU to everyone.
Til next time folks ...........
p.s don't forget you can donate online to help me reach and hopfully exceed my £3000 fundraising target. http://www.justgiving.com/caroljones-trek
