As you may remember, a while ago I mentioned that my Mum had decided to have a coffee morning to raise funds for the Big C because they have been so helpful. It was today.
This is the end of week one in my chemo cycle, so we didn’t expect to be able to go because based on my experience from the previous three sessions, I wasn’t going to feel up to it. But as we progressed through the week so well, we thought we could go for it. Mum had been filling us in on all the preparation and the donations for the raffle and the amazing responses from people she spoke to etc. and we felt we had to be there if we possibly could.
Last night we decided to go for it, organised ourselves, arranged a play day for Dude and had an early night! The beautiful rain continued throughout the night and into this morning and was with us for nearly 3 hours into our journey but around 09:30 we broke through into sunshine.
We didn’t tell Mum and Richie that we were going so that it was a surprise and it certainly was that! Their reaction was priceless.
I cannot put into words how humbled I am by the time, energy, generosity and love put into the coffee morning by all everyone. It was so lovely to see so many people, both familiar faces and new ones offering their support so completely. A totally inspiring day. Click here to read my Mum’s comments 🙂
We’re back home now, exhausted and invigorated at the same time – I don’t know how to say thank you enough but really… Thank You.
Talk to you soon
Lots of love Mand xxx
I would love to have been there!
What a super group of special friends, along with yummy food, crafts, and donations for a worthy cause.
Helen is such a party organizing star.
And such a bonus that Mandy and Phil were there.
Lots of love,
Joan and Herman xoxo.
