On the 18th of March, which would have been my Grandfathers 79th Birthday, I am planning on doing a balloon release (the day before) in memory of my beloved Grandfather, Bob (Robin) Clarke in aide of Macmillan Cancer Support.

I would also like to use it as a chance for others to remember their own loved ones & donate to a fantastic cause at the same time.

All I would ask is a £1 (or more if your want to) per balloon. Then in the comments box, leave the name of the loved one you wish to remember.

They dont have to have been cared for by Macmillan, they dont have to have suffered with cancer, this is just an oppurtunity to donate & remember anyone loved or special to you, regardless of age or the circumstances of their passing - Its purely to remember!

Every name will have an individual balloon and ''In Loving Memory Of (name)'' tied to it. I will take a picture of every balloon and its individual tag and email it, along with the pictures of the balloon release, to the donor should they wish. Just leave your email address in the comments box along with your loved ones name and I shall ensure you recieve the pictures.

Please could all names/donations be entered onto my just giving page by 10th March 2013 ready for the balloon release on the 17th March.

If you would like to take part, remember a loved one & donate to a fantastic cause, please visit my just giving page & PLEASE share this on your own pages, the more people that see, the more possible donations made.

Alternitivly, If you would Like a balloon released as a celebration of a persons survival of illness/personal struggle or would like a balloon to go up as a symbol of hope for someone who is currently dealing with life's challenges, I will release seperate coloured balloons to symbolise them with their names attached as a symbol of their achievement/ a symbol of hope for them. 

Green balloons will fly for our Lost loved ones, pink will fly for celebration of survivors & yellow for symbols of hope. 

When/If you donate for the Newley added balloons please comment leaving the colour of balloon you wish & the persons name! 

Challenges strike us all, be it illness, personal circumstance, loss, many many things. 

So please if u would like a celebration balloon or balloon of
Hope, feel free to donate & add detailing the coloured balloon you wish for celebration/hope and the persons name.



Thank you for taking the time to read this, Laura xxx
