Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

I am holding a charity evening in memory of my daughter Candeece Amy. For those of you who do not know, eighteen years ago, my daughter Candeece Amy died from a hole in her heart, which happened very suddenly and devastated myself and my family. She was an exceptional, beautiful little girl who was my absolute life, and this November would mark her 21st birthday.

As a celebration of her 21st birthday, I am organising a charity event on Friday 20th November 2009 to take place at The Woodside Club in Middleton, with all proceeds to go to ‘When You Wish Upon A Star’. This is a children’s charity which make dreams come true for terminally ill children. I believe this is a most worthy charity and applaud the work they do which is all charity funded.

I am hoping to raise as much money as possible for a charity that deserves every penny we can find, and also make it a special celebratory evening for what would have been Candeece’s 21st Birthday.

The night will include a dj, live music and buffet, also auction and raffles with some great prizes!!! Tickets are on sale now for only £5.

Tickets can be bought from the Woodside, the Oddfellows or ring me on 07940 289638 and I will get them to you. You can also get tickets from our Alan (or as you may know him A.B.), you can ring him on 07922 698727.

Really hope we can get as many people as possible there and make it a night to remember!!!

 

Some people have asked how to make a donation which is why I have set up this page... I do understand that not everyone can make it, and I have been asked how you can make a donation, then this is the perfect way.. the site is secure and the monies will go directly to the charity.
