Maggies Oxford needs your help now more than ever.
Why a Fundraiser?......
We All have our own reasons and stories and I can only admire those that do the many extraordinary challenges for their own chosen Charities.
Mine is a mixture of both Thanks and also Guilt.
I had throughout my Diagnosis and treatment All the care and attention from those around me I could ever hope but often was reluctant to accept.
Reluctant as Cancer affects the lives as much of those doing the caring as those that have it, but None of Us choose it!
From those giving the bad news to those receiving it..it affects so many.
In some ways, I felt guilty for bringing this into their Day to Day lives and tried to keep it at a distance...causing them more hurt and frustration.
The fact We All at times need support ...Maggies offer this in many ways ...a Drop-In center for a brief chit chat ...expert advice on so many things that could give us worries....But also a Haven of respite from what can often be a tough day..for All.
In my own small part, I can help.... with your support.... by crafting a few bits and bobs which may brighten your days...and possibly in turn help others get through the days when they too need a comfy chair to sit and chat ..Cup of tea or cake bake ...or an understanding ear to talk into.
Please come along to my fundraiser on the day or donate if you can...
Paul ..aka Crafty Caveman.
Update on the day...
