My story
GREAT NORTH RUN - September 18th Julie-Anne is running the Great North Run in aid of Andrea's Gift on Sunday 18th September. As she is quite asthmatic (and her training only began about 3 weeks ago!) she isn't aiming for a specific time, just aiming to finish it!
September 2011 - a busy month for Lyn as she took VR and colleagues donated to this page in lieu of a leaving present. Thank you all - I am really going to miss you all but it had to be done! Also the (very tasteful) calendar was launched on Sept 11th and can be ordered online or by contacting eyrefamily6@hotmail.com
Andrea's Gift Ball 2011 - 26th Feb was organised by Julie-Anne and Rachel .. and what a great night. Everyone seemed to have a ball (!!!), the food & entertainment was excellent and with money still coming in, the amount raised on the night currently stands at £1355.60. Well done girls. A special thank you to Mary and Raminder who both made donations even though they couldn't join us xx
Since Lyn's mum died (see http://www.andreasgift.org.uk/joan_wells.html for her story) supporting Andrea's Gift has become a whole-family affair. In April 2008, we held the second annual 'Andrea's Ball' and on the 10th May John & David completed the Big Bike Ride from Wetherby to Scarborough .. not sure whether David will ever want to sit on a bike again but they raised £370 in the process! Not to be left out, Richard (Grandpa) offered his services as a marshall and Lyn followed behind them all in a car ...just in case.
At the end of May, Lyn & John celebrated their Silver Wedding and asked guests to donate to Andrea's Gift rather than buy gifts. With over 100 friends & family in one place, another £465 was added to the pot. When Lyn changed job in August to head up the Health, Safety & Wellbeing Team, colleagues at Education Leeds donated the leaving collection to Andrea's gift - a lovely gesture very much appreciated.
Following Suzanne's success in the Great North Run 2007, Rachel & Lyn joined her in 2008 - and both sisters were determined to come out on top. Rachel had been more disciplined with the training regime and completed in a creditable 2h 15 - Suzanne and mum were some way behind but finished together in 2h50-ish. The vicious rumour that they walked is unjust!
The activities don't stop in 2009; our Glitter Ball on 6th February was another sell-out event, mostly due to Julie-Anne's impressive sales technique, and raised £1570 with the help of match-funding from Rachel's employers (Barclays). Lyn is preparing for the Great North Swim (is Lake Windermere cold?) in September and races Suzanne again in the GNR in the autumn, even though both swore never to do it again! Not to be outdone, John & David are ready for a repeat of the Wetherby to Scarborough Bike Ride with friends Peter & Gail ... while Grandpa continues to support us all and do his own fundraising too!
