Story

As many of you are aware, we lost a special someone to this cruel disease on the 13th February 2002 - my Mum!

As a promise to myself, I have vowed that for each landmark birthday I have - my mothers name, Deborah Bendell, will be honoured - as without her, I wouldn’t be celebrating at all. So, for my 25th birthday I am hosting a Dinner & Dance in aid of this amazing charity, MS-UK.

Multiple Sclerosis is a cruel disease and those who suffer with it can often deteriorate extremely quickly and unfortunately this was the case for my Mum. Despite the pain and suffering my Mum went through, she’ll always be remembered for being the happiest and cheekiest person in any room. I aspire every day to make her proud and resemble her in some way - so for me, this fundraiser is just the start of a long journey. 

I may not have had much time with my Mum, as I was only 8 when she passed; however I know the support we received after her passing was second to none and this Charity, MS-UK, is able to offer similar to others in need too.

So the long and short of it, if you aren’t able to celebrate with us on the 27th April at the Dinner & Dance (contact me for further details) but would like to contribute to this special charity, any spare change to reach my goal is unbelievably appreciated! 

In memory of Deborah Bendell, my Mum, and other loved ones suffering! 🌹
