Story

I am raising money for DC Action as I myself have been diagnosed with DC back in December 2023. DC has for me effected my bone marrow causing bone marrow failure or aplastic anaemia as its known.

I have received treatment blood transfusions and current medication which if it weren't down to the generosity of people I simply wouldn't be here.

If you have ever had the pleasure of donating blood then I thank you as I may have received yours to keep me alive.

Recently two more family members have been diagnosed with DC some having received serious diagnosis this has hit me hard and I want to try harder than ever to support the small charity and see if my family and friends can help me achieve this.

I am holding a coffee and cake morning for the charity

Sunday 17th August

1pm-3pm

Thornton Community Center BD13 3HW

There will be hot drinks, sweet treats raffles etc

If you can come along or would like to donate a cake/prize then please message me.

All donations are greatly appreciated and the final event total will be updated on this page

Thank you as always

Claire
