My story

 

"Working For the Children of Watamu" is a charity set up by local Blackpool Landlady Sue Hayward. To cut a long story short they have been building schools and are now setting up "Happy House", an orphanage.

After hearing about this work, my brother Joseph (10) and sister Emma (8) have decided to do a Sponsored Bike Ride around Stanley Park to raise money for these children.

Any donation small or large is welcome!!!  There are many items on the charities wish list, for example: Fruit trees @ £5 and Chickens @ £1 each so if you can only spare £2 (minimum) please do, it's worth it!!

Update 19.05.09 our picture and story is on the front page of Blackpool Evening Gazette's Eve Supplement today (as above)

Update 27.08.09 after the success we've had over the past 3 months, we will be taking part in Blackpool's "Ride the Lights" bike ride on 01.09.09 at 8pm to continue to raise money

Update 15.09.09 our mum - Jackie Fineman was in the Blackpool Evening Gazette's Eve Supplement today to promote "Add a Happy House Kid to Your Shopping List"


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Working For The Children Of Watamu gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor us now!
