My story

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH to every single person who has donated to my cause!! We've raised over a grand!!! I can't believe it!!! :0) WELL DONE! I have one more thing to say... Nam Myoho Renge Kyo!! :0)

I have now had the op and am nearly fighting fit again! Joanna Welch won the competition - WELL DONE JOANNA. :0) But, if you came to this site to donate, don't let this news stop you! The competition may be over, but the fundraising is on-going... the hospice need all the pennies they can get. Thank you for all your kind donations.

Hello everyone!!

So... you all know how ill I've been with these gall stones and associated infections. Well, I decided it's about time I created value from my pain. :0)

It's time to kick The Rolling Stones out of my pad, once and for all! I have been to see my wonderful surgeon today (9.2.09) and he has agreed that when he takes my gall bladder and stones out, he will weigh them! How great is that?! Nice guy!! :0)

Would you like to guess the combined weight of my gall bladder and The Rolling Stones (that's the calcium build-up, NOT the band!) and have the chance to win a prize? (Just to clarify... the prize will be something nice... flowers or confectionery, that sort of thing!) If so, here is a 'how to' guide:

1) Click on 'Donate Now' at the bottom of this page.

2) Register to this site and make your donation (suggested donation £2 - don't forget to 'Gift aid' it if you're a UK taxpayer!). Make sure you add a valid email address so that I can get in touch with you if you win the prize!

3) DON'T FORGET to write who you are and what your guess is in the comments box! It's as easy as that. :0) Then, when I get confirmation of the weight, I will be in touch with the winner and will deliver the prize!

All proceeds of this competition will go to East Cheshire Hospice, in loving memory of Margaret Campbell-Kelly.

Thank you everyone, and GOOD LUCK! Love Suzie :0) xx

ps. My scan results say that my gall bladder is 'packed with stones'... just a little helpful hint. ;0)

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: East Cheshire Hospice 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.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the following people and organisations for their support. A BIG THANK YOU TO:
Maria M - without your daily love, support and delivery of painkillers, my smiles over the last year or so would have been dramatically reduced! Maria, you're a patient, wonderous woman! THANK YOU! xx
