<p><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff;">I have decided to create 'Send a Card Day' in honour of my poorly mum.</span><br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff;">I would like to ask all my FB friends at home and abroad to help me in making my mums day and raise some money for a very relevant charity.</span><br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff;"><br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff;">Back in September she was diagnosed with advanced liver disease. Unfortunately its not something she can now recover from and consequently is between hospital and a nursing home. Despite everything, she has kept the great sense of humour we know her for and generally remains positive. But, I would love to turn that humour and positivity into a lasting memory for her and show her just how much she means to us.</span><br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff;"><br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff;">I was hoping I could ask all my 254 FB friends to send her a card that will make her smile. Whether it be hand made by you or your children, displaying flowers or a retro pic with a speech bubble, whatever! She loves cards and regulary asks for them to be re-read.<br><br>I know you wont all know her of course, but she is wonderful like all our mums! And any positive message would be a great read.<br><br>For every card received I will donate 1 pound to the British Liver Trust, so thats potentially 254 pounds going straight to charity, and a charity that more and more people are now receiving support from due to the increase in this disease, and not just through alcohol abuse.<br><br>Even better, if you can send this on the details to your FB friends to get more cards on their way to my mum, I will donate a further 50p for all cards received from indirect friends to a maximum of 350 pounds.<br><br>I do feel vaguely cheeky asking but I know I'd do it for others, and she would be totally blown away. If the majority can be sent this Saturday 14th April, she should then receive a good bundle on Monday next week.<br><br>Please address all cards to<br>Penny Portlock<br>C/O Twin Oaks Nursing Home<br>Chapel Break<br>Norwich<br>NR5 9NJ <br><br>Can ask you to sign it off with your first and second name, post on this event page on FB once sent so we can track them, I will message you once received and will regularly update on numbers and donations. Hopefully I will be skint.<br><br>Go on, do your bit! (for me and mum)<br><br>Thank you.xx</span></p>
