Earlier this year Emma, was given the diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease.The reality of this debilitating disease is that over time it will weaken her nervous system making movement, speech and breathing more and more difficult. Unfortunately Emma's house is not designed for this lack of mobility and she will need a lift to be fitted within her home to allow her to be able to move around and play with her daughter. This lift will cost in excess of £11,000 and have to be paid for privately.

Since diagnosis Emma has started an amazing blog to raise awareness about this devastating disease and to help support others, please check it out and share with others:

So we invite you to 'Drink and Paint' with us to help to fund raise for the cost of desperately needed house adjustment Emma now has to make on her home. For £20 You will be provided with a canvas, paint, brushes and a photo of a subject to paint. You will have 2 hours to paint a masterpiece, there will be a winner with prizes, and everyone will get to take their fine artwork home!

The event will be held at Zapatos Lounge, Welsh House, 2 Newland Walk, Northampton, NN1 2EB, Thursday the 20th December 6-8pm. We are hoping to raise as much as we can to help Emma. To secure your canvas for the competition please donate £20+ and write your full name and CANVAS with your donation. There will be prizes, an Art auction, a bar (of course!) and food available.

We hope to see you there, any donation via this page would make a great difference,

Many thanks, Ellie.
