Fundraising for Sands

Much of my time has been taken up recently with the preparation for a Charity Party Night I'm holding in March.  I'm raising funds for Fife Sands, the local branch of the stillbirth and neonatal death charity Sands, in memory of our daughter Daisy who died in July 2012.

We've had a great response from local businesses and have managed to obtain a range of fantastic prizes for our raffle, as well as a few offers for entertainment - so we're finalising all the arrangements for that as we speak.  We've also been lucky to have been offered a fantastic local venue to host our event which will allow us to have over 200 guests at our party.

My fundraising target for the evening is £3000, although at the rate the tickets are selling, I'm really hopeful that we'll smash our target and raise lots more for Fife Sands!

I'm enjoying pouring my efforts into organising this event and I'm so pleased at the support we have had from friends, family and the local community in order to raise money for such a supportive charity as well as raising  awareness of the work that Sands does, both locally and nationally.

The planning of the event has taken up a lot of my time and has been keeping me fairly busy.  With only a couple of months to go until the party, preparations have stepped up a gear and I'm now working on something related to the event nearly every day.

It's great to see everyone pulling together to raise money for such a fantastic cause.
