Story

We are so close to reaching the £5000 mark. How amazing is that? Thank you all so much for your generosity. X

Lots more donations overnight and so many people have planned events to help us raise even more.
Thank you all so very much. X

Catherine is off to the Beatson this week for her initial consultation for her transplant. We will know much more by the end of the week.

Thank you so much everyone. We are over half way to being able to repay what it will cost Anthony Nolan to find Catherine a donor and bring them together in preparation for her transplant. Just amazing in such a short time. Xx

Thank you to all our lovely pharmacy customers who have given Catherine's chosen charity a lovely boost today. Your cards and kind thoughts are very much appreciated. X

Thank you very much to Liam and all his friends who raised £80 at his 16th on Saturday. Thanks guys

Thank you to everyone who has donated and or joined the Anthony Nolan register today. They believe we have already encouraged enough people to register that one of our registrants could well be a match for someone just like Catherine. How amazing is that?

Please pop into the pharmacy and buy your square for our treasure hunt. Yankee Candle of your choice is the prize for one lucky hunter.
If you can't pop in donate a pound here and we will randomly chose you a square and if you win we will post out your prize.
All proceeds to Anthony Nolan. Thank you.

Mixed news for us yesterday.
Sadly Lizzie was not a match for her sister.
Thankfully though Anthony Nolan have 15 UK registrants who are potential matches. A further 150 around the world also show to be a potential match. You certainly picked the right time in your life to be common Catherine!!
These numbers will obviously dwindle as some may now be deceased or not in a position to be a donor today. However her Macmillan Nurse is confident the one good match we need will be found from amongst these anonymous donors.

We have made good progress today with organising a donor day at Banff and Buchan College in Fraserburgh and one in RGU Aberdeen. Watch this space.... !!!!

Many of Catherine's friends, workmates and family are helping to organise fundraising events for her chosen charity.
If you can help with a bottle, a raffle prize or anything like that it would be greatly appreciated. Please drop anything into the pharmacy anytime and we will make sure the best use possible is made of your donation. Thank you xx.

Lots more very generous donations today and many prizes handed into shop for Melissa, Shannon and all the Score staff to use at their events.
Thank you all once again. Sam xx

We are only a few pounds away from raising our first £1000 for Anthony Nolan. How fabulous is that in just a couple of days?

Thank you all once again - today has been awash with donations. We are all
extremely grateful xx.

Erica and I are sitting with Catherine and she is blown away by your generosity for her chosen charity. You have certainly made her smile x.

I got a we thank you from Anthony Nolan today.

Thank you all once again for your donations. Catherine and I are chuffed to see the total rising every few hours. You have all been extremely kind and generous. This will help pay for more people to be on that life saving register. Sam x
