Weeks and months of hard work and preparation culminated in our Charity Party Night at the weekend! I was delighted to see everything come together, and we gave away dozens of fantastic prizes on the night - from hotel stays, to racing championship tickets, to shopping vouchers, meals, nights out, theatre tickets and more. Our tombola was a great success and I was so pleased to see all our tombola gifts snapped up within an hour. We enjoyed a mind-blowing dance display from a local performing arts school; everyone was on the edge of their seats and the girls impressed us with their talents. The party atmosphere ensured everyone had a good time and the dance floor was packed until the end of the night!
Our efforts raised just over £3500 for Fife Sands, our local group of the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, in memory of our daughter Daisy. I'm such a proud mum - my darling girl may only have lived for 29 hours but everyone knows her name. The money raised will ensure that support continues for bereaved parents in our local area, which makes me very happy indeed; we cannot bring Daisy back, but we have managed to bring a positive out of her death and to have received so much help from others to achieve such an amazing sum of money for Fife Sands is both humbling and overwhelming at the same time.
Now I can relax somewhat after having so much of my time taken up with the planning and organisation of the event! Until the next time...
Best Wishes
Debbie
