Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page in the memory of my wife Sarah Solftley and raising money for St Lukes Hospice in Plymouth where she spent her last weeks.

Sarah was surrounded by myself and her family and friends and with the amazing care love and compassion of all the staff who work at St Lukes, they are all SUPER STARS and myself and her family cannot thank them all enough.

The money you donate will all go to this very worthy cause to help enable this care to continue and without our help and the help of many other fundraisers this simply would not happen.

If anyone has a prize they would like to donate please get in touch with me personally my number is 07976 820249.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity.

So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

There are 2 reasons I have decided to launch the Christmas raffle now firstly to help promote all the fabulous and very generous business's who have donated prizes for the raffle prior to Christmas so you can also choose to support them as well and secondly because I have been super hungry today as I am trying to fast at certain times to loose a few pounds and just to make it even more of a challenge my mother in law decided to message me to tell me that she had ordered a 5.5KG!!! turkey today for collection Christmas Eve 7am, so Christmas suddenly came right into focus in a funny way and then the thoughts moved to all the things you love about Christmas, spending it with your loved ones and in my case my beautiful wife :( that then it got me thinking it’s time to plan the 2025 Christmas raffle to raise money for St Luke’s Hospice in Plymouth where some of you will know my wife passed away peacefully 2 years ago on September 8th

Last year you guys were epic and we raised over £1200, this year I want to raise £2000

Just know your support will help other people to receive the love and care they need and help them to die with dignity. I want to continue raising money right up to the draw date, which might move if I have not made the whole amount but just remember unlike the National or Post Code lottery you have very good odds for winning prizes and as I hope to have over 50, keep watching this space and my Facebook page as these are added I am going on a mission to get some serious goodies :)

AGAIN I CANNOT THANK EVERYONE IN ENOUGH FOR THEIR SUPPORT, BOTH PRIZE CONTRIBUTORS AND JUST GIVERS

THIS CHRISTMAS MAKE LOTS OF HAPPY MEMORIES AND HOLD EACH OTHER TIGHTLY AND LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE XXXX

HOPE THE NEW YEAR BRINGS EVERYTHING YOU WISH
