Story
I WANT TO GIVE AS MUCH AS I CAN, CAN YOU HELP ME??? 💜
We all know when it comes to November, we sponsor the guys to grow a mustache for Movember.
I am doing something a little different to raise awareness throughout October for breast cancer awareness month.
To those that know me and also to those that dont, this is something extremely close to my heart. I have a strong family history of breast and ovarian cancer, and have seen my mum fight this twice and myself carrying the BRCA1 mutation, this has affected and turned my life upside down. The Jasmine Centre in Doncaster and its staff have been incredible, and I have seen the excellent care given to my mum as well as receive the care myself. They do an amazing job but it doesnt take away how awful treatment leaves patients feeling and how ill it can make them. This is why I wanted to do something for them that will not take the pain away, but will hopefully help in giving them a little treat that will uplift their spirits.
I am putting together Care Packages that I am going to be personally hand delivering to the Jasmine Centre in Doncaster as a treat those that are going through treatment for cancer. A date is to be confirmed for this towards the end of October but we are doing an official presentation of these and they are hoping to get some press coverage also 💜
The Care Package will include 5 products and all sponsorship will be going to each patient to give them a treat or some after Care.
I still want people to donate to cancer research and Macmillan, this is just an alternative that I would like to do as a little extra 💜
I am going to be using recyclable bags and including a gift tag with a personal message from each sponsor. Just a lovely warm message that will be placed in the bag. And to all those that do sponsor, I will send a picture of the bag made up that you have contributed to and include your personalised message. I will also be wrapping the bag with ribbon etc to make it look pretty. I will be popping in some chocolates as well just for a little treat.
So...I am asking for your sponsorship towards one of my gift bags ❤️
Each pack will cost £20 but sponsoring £2, £4, £5 whatever you would like to, will help massively and I will amalgamate the monies to make as many packs as possible.
I would love to get as many of these out there as I can and so every little will help 😊
I will personally be sponsoring and making up 3 packages.
I will document everything where I can and so all those that have contributed can see the difference it has made.
This is a cause so close to my heart and it has affected my life and those I love greatly. I know what a difference something like this will make and how much it will be appreciated.
Thank you 💜
