Fund raising

Hello, just a quick update while I'm up with my coughing children!

My husband graham is raising money for Sturge Weber UK by doing a triathlon "iron man" event in June 2013. He has a just giving page on www.justgiving.com (type in Hallie Davidson and you'll find him) - donations welcomed please :oD

I'm also trying to do as much as I can too to raise money and awareness for the charity - I have a stall at my son's school Christmas fair on 6.12.12 - I'm going to be selling Christmas cards, raffling a very special cake donated by a very kind friend Hazel and I'm going to raffle a big cuddly bear : ) marlcliffe school have also kindly agreed to ask a few pupils to design special Christmas cards which will get printed up hopefully next week so I'll be selling those on my stall too along with the Sturge Weber UK wristbands and sweeties and children's wooden jewellery too : )

I'm also organising an Usborne book party for 1.12.12 for all the parents in my son's class YR DR and 10% of book sales will go to Sturge Weber UK - any parents who are interested please contact me ASAP as at the moment I don't have enough to hold a party unfortunately : ( - I'm planning on providing wine and food as a thank you for coming x

I've spoken to Jenny Denham this weekend just gone about my fund raising ideas - she is the first person I have chatted to from the Sturge weber Facebook support group and she is the chair of the committee of Sturge Weber UK - it was lovely speaking to her and I'm so glad there is a support group and the Internet in general these days as it provides such a useful and supportive resource for me and parents alike to share experiences and offer guidance. I know people criticise emails and texts as being impersonal but I find them a godsend for asking quick questions and getting instant answers - even from consultants!

Anyway, as the coughing seems to have died down now in our household I best try and get some sleep! Night : )
