Hi All,
As most of you know I am involved in St John Ambulance Wales and have been for some years and I am going to be raising money for the charity by dressing up as an OOMPA LUMPA! This is all part of an event planned by Oceana as part of the Addictive ★ Wed.  Dressing up is something you have to do in uni life! lol
I will be dressed up as an Oompa Lumpa from 10am on Wednesday 23rd March until sometime in the early hours of Thursday morning (whenever I get home!)
I would be really grateful if you would make a donation to the charity by using the following link.
I will be putting pictures up of the event and me dressed up in the costume on the Thursday afternoon.

The charity receives no core government funding and relies on private donations and income from first aid training to fund our charitable work. Please can you support me in raising money for the charity by making a donation, no amount is too small!
I am very grateful for you taking the time to read this and I would like to thank you for your support.
